More than 600 million years of life on Earth are traced through fossils, models and dioramas. The Michigan Wildlife Gallery has a large collection of native Great Lakes birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, with taxidermy mounts, habitat scenes, and the largest mastodon trackway on display in the world. There are also displays about some of the environmental problems faced in this region today. The Anthropology Displays feature artifacts from human cultures around the world. The Geology Displays on the fourth floor offer a large selection of rocks, minerals and gems. These displays are updated periodically.

The fossil has proven to be a \u201clink\u201d\u009d between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr J\u00c3\u00b8rn Hurum, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US), BBC One (UK),and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida.
