Event Description

A Revolutionary Story of Eggs, Evolution and Life on Earth

Join zoologist Jules Howard as he explores the fascinating evolution of the animal egg, the unsung hero of survival and evolution. Based on his book Infinite Life, Howard reveals the egg’s crucial role in the development of life on Earth across eras.

Whether belonging to birds, insects, mammals or millipedes, animal eggs are objects that have been shaped by their ecology, forged by mass extinctions and honed by natural selection to near-perfection. Finally, the epic story of their role in the tapestry of life can be told.
