Episode Description:
Welcome to this brand new episode of Adapt or Die! The evolutionary biology of pop culture hosted by Austin Ashbaugh. The current cultural phenomenon we are discussing this season is Pokémon and todays episode is focused on the ground type. Our evolutionary connection to the psychic type is biogeography.
In the Safari Zone, I get into why geography impacts our understanding of evolution and how geography impacts the creation of species. During the pokémon professors rant, I appropriately rant about the separation of rock and ground typing. Lastly, we will end todays episode with describing a regional variant of the barboach evolutionary line and results from our latest pokémon spectacular competition. Sit back and relax in a chair older than yourself, open an old dusty tome, and join me as we adapt or die!
