- The micro-photography of Lennart Nilsson takes you into the hidden world of life in the womb, from the dance of the egg and sperm to the emergence of our first tiny features to the thrill of birth, and shows how the developing human embryo reveals links to other species--reflecting a shared ancestry that harks back to the dawn of creation.
