Lottie Peppers on 05 Nov 14This activity supports the HHMI short film The Origin of Species: The Making of a Theory. Students are presented with a map of the Malay Archipelago and some field notebooks with observations of animals. By plotting which animals are found on which island, the students discover the Wallace Line-a sharp boundary that separates distinct Asian and Australian fauna.
