Takes a field trip in the Cumberland Caverns of Tennessee, and reveals important clues to the central questions of adaptation and evolution of species, pointing out that in the depths of a cave, scientists can observe the interactions among plants and animals in a community without light, where the level of humidity and the year-around temperature remain nearly constant.
