The Natural History Society of Maryland is honored to have been selected to host a never-before-exhibited woolly mammoth skeleton excavated in Alaska.

While the last ice age, the Pleistocene, ended 12,000 years ago, its inhabitants, the megafauna and early humans, loom large in our collective imaginations.

Through its Mammoth Project, the Natural History Society of Maryland invites you to travel back in time to learn from those who have left clues in threads of DNA, hand-hewn artifacts, bones and more. What secrets will they share? Come learn from some of the world’s preeminent experts. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from and interact one on one with researchers working on the front lines of the scientific frontier. NOTE: All presentations will take place via ZOOM.

The Mammoth Speaker Series is one of many programs designed to help educate, excite and engage with the Mammoth Exhibition coming to the Natural History Society of Maryland this fall.
