YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Lizards are evolving at hyper speed in Puerto Rican cities. These turbocharged genetic adaptations mean they can run and move faster than their countryside cousins. But why? Evolutionary biologists Shane Campbell-Staton and Kristin Winchell are studying how the urban environment is spurring rapid genetic adaptations in this lizard species.

This video includes footage from an episode of the PBS docuseries HumanFootprintPBS: “The Urban Jungle”, Season 1. @shane.campbellstaton is also hosting an upcoming second season of the docuseries, which is produced by @daysedge productions.
