Phylogeography - Why are we here and how did we get here?

Now that you have explored a basic introduction to phylogeography you should be able to identify living things around you and have a rough idea of how they came to be there. Learning the scientific name and taking a quick glance around the physical habitat and the geological history of the location should be all you need to start you off on another adventure in biodiversity. Remember, phylogeography is a multidisciplinary field of study, so draw from all areas of knowledge if you wish to explain and understand any part of its application.
