"More than 1,000 species of #cichlids have emerged in the past 3 million or 4 million years, and more than 500 in #LakeVictoria alone within the last 100,000 years or less. These are the largest and fastest adaptive radiations known in the animal kingdom, and understanding them will be important for understanding the origin of species diversity in general."
