This is the question posed by the new exhibition, which offers a journey through three Geneva locations. The groups of professors Birgitte Galliot, Denis Duboule, Ivan Rodriguez and Michel Milinkovitch took part in the realization of this exhibition.
We uncover the amazing parallels between ferromagnetism modeling and lizard skin colour patterning
The excavation of the archaeological site of Toumboura III has provided more than 13’000 stone artefacts resulting from the production of very specific stone tools: bifacial tools, among which small bifacial points probably intended to be hafted on wooden shafts and used as projectiles.
