EcologyNOW challenges the position of humans at the top of the classic evolution chain.

Artist Pamela Schilderman has created sculptures which pair human forensic identifiers with animal species and animal drawings which depict Utopian scenes across Brazil - to ask visitors to consider whether or not humans are the most important species on earth today.
