Challenging a 75-year-old notion about how and when reptiles evolved during the past 300 million-plus years involves a lot of camerawork, loads of CT scanning, and, most of all, thousands of miles of travel.
Lizards in an Evolutionary Tree is one of three films in HHMI’s Origin of Species collection. This film describes how the more than 700 islands of the Caribbean are home to about 150 species of anoles, a closely related group of lizards (genus Anolis) that occupy diverse habitats and niches.

Lizards in an Evolutionary Tree (University of California Press, 2009), Losos’ classic book, details his efforts to study a collection of DNA samples from 55 species of Anolis with a goal to build an evolutionary tree that encompasses every ecomorph, or lizard form, on all four islands.
