As the tepui highlands are understood more completely through biological research and molecular genetic analysis, the picture of how biological diversity evolved across this sky island archipelago is becoming clearer.

Each tepui is a distinct chapter in the same story — the story of evolution in isolation, driven by the same fundamental processes of natural selection and genetic drift, producing different specific outcomes in each isolated location.

Roraima is the most famous chapter of that story.

But it is not the only one, and the full story requires reading all the chapters.
