As our co-Hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser are out this week, we are re-sharing the perfect episode to start the summer season!\nThis one, which first aired in 2014, tells the strange story of a small group of islands that keeps us wondering: will our most sacred natural landscapes inevitably get swallowed up by humans? How far are we willing to go to stop that from happening?\nThis hour is about the Gal\xe1pagos archipelago, which inspired Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution and natural selection. Nearly 200 years later, the Gal\xe1pagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose \u2014 and perhaps answer \u2014 critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth.\nEpisode Credits:Reported and produced by\xa0Tim Howard.\nRadiolab is supported by listeners like you.
