The river of time

The exhibition "The river of time» - downloadable here - retraces the major stages of the history of our planet since the formation of Solar System 4.57 billion of years ago until the emergence of Homo sapiens 200,000 years ago, through the development and diversification of life on Earth.

The exhibition was mounted in Bordeaux for the first time in 2008 in the framework of the International Year of Planet Earth, and again in 2009 as part of the International Year of Astronomy (Bordeaux and Liege (Belgium) ) and finally in 2011 at the Planetarium of Montpellier in the context of the International Congress on the Origins of life « ORIGINS 2011 »
