Island expert and long-time island-dweller Fischer reveals how since time began islands have been one of the primary birthplaces for plants, animals, and proto-humans. He shows how these islets and eyots fostered our species, Homo sapiens, who then exploited these habitats as stepping-stones to global dominion.
