You think you are the first? Scientists just proved these iguanas beat humans to the island by hundreds of thousands of years. We thought only people could cross oceans.
But DNA analysis shows Clarion spiny-tailed iguanas diverged from mainland relatives 425,000 years ago.
While humans were just stumbling around Africa, these green reptiles were already evolving in isolation on a remote Mexican island.
They weren't invasive species. They were the original colonizers, arriving long before any human foot ever touched that sand.
