Summary
Cédric Dentant, a botanist, and Sébastien Lavergne, a researcher in evolutionary biology, study the mysteries of evolution through the study of high-altitude flora. The history and origin of flowering plants posed a conundrum to Darwin: why, according to the fossils he studied, did they seem to appear suddenly 140 million years ago? This suddenness challenged his vision of the evolution of species through slow and progressive adaptation and made him think of "an abominable mystery". The two researchers show exciting and invisible mechanisms to reconsider our vision of these environments that seem eternal, but are indeed fragile and need to be preserved.
