The Invisible Barrier Keeping Two Worlds Apart

The video explores the Wallace Line, a biogeographic boundary in the Malay Archipelago, discovered by Alfred Russell Wallace. It highlights the distinct biodiversity on either side of the line, influenced by geological history and plate tectonics. Wallace's observations led to the understanding of species distribution and the role of ancient geological events. The video also discusses the modern implications of these findings in biogeography.
