Mammals, the furry, milk-giving group to which humans also belong, can trace their origins back to the Mesozoic. Fossils from the Isle of Skye in Scotland in particular, are providing new insights, revealing how their evolution alongside the dinosaurs set the foundations of their survival and success after the mass extinction 66 million years ago. In this talk, we will find out about fieldwork in Skye uncovering exceptionally preserved fossils, and the new analytical techniques revealing how mammals lived, grew, and flourished in the Jurassic.
Join us at Kelvin Hall at 7pm on Thursday, 19 February 2026 for a guest lecture “The Pines they are a-changing” by Professor Rob Wilson of University of St Andrews.

“I am a tree-ring scientist – a so-called Dendrochronologist. My main research focusses on late Holocene palaeoclimatology (the Common Era) with specific emphasis on the use of tree-ring archives to understand the drivers of climate and environmental change. “
