Uncovering our own Galapagos explores how India’s biodiversity hotspots, particularly the Western Ghats, serve as natural laboratories for studying evolution, much like the Galápagos Islands did for Darwin. Through the work of evolutionary biologists, the story highlights how unique species, geographic isolation, and ecological diversity help scientists understand how life adapts, diversifies, and evolves over time. The article demonstrates that remarkable insights into evolution are not confined to distant islands but can be discovered within India’s own rich landscapes.
