Yet before the expedition reached its goal, Shiva Temple was touted as a "biological island" whose animal life, if any remained, must have been isolated from the "mainland" since the Ice Ages. These unknown creatures, evolving in their own way for thousands of years, would shed a brilliant light on the mechanics of evolution...
