We’re kicking off Series 4 of What Happens Next by looking back, way back. This time we’ll ponder what happens if we stop exploring natural history - what would we lose? How can finding fossils help shape our future? And will humans ever grow wings? Monash experts help us get to the bottom of these big questions in a brand new series of What Happens Next?
