Hall of Primitive Mammals
Saturday April 24, 2010 from 10:00am - 5:45pm
American Museum of Natural History
Central Park West
New York, New York 10023 Get Directions
The Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of Mammals and Their Extinct Relatives -- which includes the Hall of Primitive Mammals and the Paul and Irma Milstein Hall of Advanced Mammals -- tells a fascinating tale of great diversification, sudden extinctions and the forces that determine the success and obliteration of life. Mammals evolved at nearly the same time as the first dinosaurs, and the roots of the mammalian line reach back almost 300 million years. Some of the very early relatives of mammals, creatures resembling enormous lizards with giant fins along their backs, actually lived millions of years before the dinosaurs and dominated the land. Most of them then became extinct and during the age of dinosaurs none of the mammals got much larger than small rodents. After the extinction of the large dinosaurs, the great diversity of mammals arose that we see today, including both primitive and advanced species.
