Fudge tunnel. Dung funnel. Log chopper. Darwin’s trumpet. Whatever you call it, your bum – yes, the one you’re sitting on right now – is the fine-tuned product of millions of years of evolution. That’s a fact – no ifs, a lot of butts.
In fact, inside your bum is a time vortex leading to the hole history of life on Earth, from the first bums that bubbled up from the primordial ooze to the hyper-specialized hunting machine you use to run fast, cushion your falls and announce to the world that you were satisfied with your last meal.
Join The Crab Museum and illustrator Inga Ziemele in this hilarious kids’ guide to evolution and the natural history of this noble body part. You’ll come bum-to-bum with big bums, small bums, armoured bums, stinky bums, multi-use bums, dino-bums, jet-engine bums, glow-in-the-dark bums, fossilized bums, and even an animal with 1,000 bums. Along the way, you’ll learn the many surprising uses for bums that animals have found over the years, and even witness a terrible time in Earth’s history when there were no bums at all.
Discover which animal poos cubes, how you have the biggest bum in the world (congratulations), and why deep down, you’re nothing but a food tube.
Are you sitting comfortably? Yes, you are – because of your bum!
The Crab Museum of Margate is run by Ned, Bertie and Chase, but more importantly, it is Europe's first and only museum dedicated to the humble decapod. Crabs are a sideways-scuttling guide not just to the history of life on Earth, but also its future – from capitalism to climate change, there's nothing that can't be understood through the lens of these fascinating crustaceans. With inventive exhibits that combine humour, science and philosophy, the award-winning Crab Museum pursues the noble claws of seeking to understand crabs, and through them, ourselves. Inga Ziemele is a Latvian illustrator based in London. As the Queen of Ingaland, she presides over a colourful, chaotic world of neon mayhem, in-your-face characters and explosively comical scenes. Inga's clients include Spotify, Nike, Crocs, YouTube, VOXI and Red Bull.
