INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S DAY
Under the Same Moon
Millions of years ago, on a night without history, perhaps a young hominin looked up at the sky. Above her world shone the same moon that now illuminates our nights, a silent witness to a lineage that would one day cross continents, survive ice ages, and name the stars.
On International Women’s Day, we remember Lucy and all those who, throughout time, have challenged imposed limits, explored the unknown, and changed the world.
Under the same moon, they continue dreaming, loving, fighting, researching, nurturing, creating. They continue making history.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE
On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we honor Mary Anning, who, at just 12 years old, made an extraordinary discovery: the remains of the first Ichthyosaurus, a finding that shaped the history of paleontology.
Although she lived in a time when women faced significant barriers to recognition in the scientific field, her legacy continues to inspire generations.
Her story is a powerful reminder of the impact of curiosity, perseverance, and a passion for knowledge. To all the girls and women who dream of exploring, discovering, and transforming the world: Happy Day!

Who was this pioneer who defied the conventions of her time?
In our podcast ‘Historias de la Prehistoria‘ you can hear more about her story.
