Post Description

Professor Richard Fortey investigates why islands are natural laboratories of evolution, in this three-part series for BBC Four.

Taking a closer look at the natural process beyond the survival of the fittest, Professor Richard Fortey studies the life cycle of islands, from their birth and colonization, through the flowering of abundant new species, to the changes an island endures as it grows old and nears its end. 

In the first episode, Hawaii: A New Eden, Fortey is in Hawaii to investigate how life colonizes a newly-born island. As one of the most remote island groups in the world, it’s believed that only one new species successfully colonized Hawaii every 35,000 years.
