In the process of parallel evolution, two seemingly unrelated species living in isolation can evolve surprisingly similar traits -- but how does it work, and why does it happen? Join Chuck and Josh as they break down the process of parallel evolution.
Join Josh and Chuck as they dive into the fascinating world of parallel evolution, exploring how completely unrelated species can evolve remarkably similar traits when living in similar environments. Using Australia as their natural laboratory, they examine curious cases like flying squirrels versus flying phalangers, and uncover the genetic mysteries behind why animals separated by continents and millions of years can end up looking almost identical. The hosts also celebrate their podcast community reaching an impressive milestone with their micro-lending team on Kiva.
