Učesnik TED Fellows programa Prozanta Čakrabarti istražuje skrivene delove sveta, u potrazi za novim vrstama riba koje počivaju u pećinama. Ova podzemna stvorenja su razvila zadivljujuće načine prilagođavanja i pružaju nam biološke uvide u slepilo, kao i geološke tragove o tome kako su se kontinenti otcepili pre više miliona godina. Razmotrite duboki protok vremena u ovom kratkom govoru.

Tragovi praistorijskog vremena otkriveni u slepoj pećinskoj ribi

Blind cavefish hold clues to both the evolution of vision and the shifting of continents over millions of years. Some species in Madagascar are more closely related to fish in Australia than to those nearby, evidence that continents moved rather than the fish themselves. The genetic adaptations in these species even help scientists understand how blindness develops. Rapid habitat loss threatens these rare creatures, sometimes before their closest relatives are even discovered.
