Ancient DNA Tells Story of Giant Eagle Evolution.

The article presents information on the Giant Eagle Evolution. The recent discovery of a Hobbit-like hominid on the Indonesian island of Flores was startling in some respects, but it represents a classic case of Darwinian evolution. Perhaps the most famous example of an island giant is the dodo, once found on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. The researchers characterized the rates of sequence evolution within mitochondrial DNA to establish the evolutionary relationships between the different eagle species.
