In our previous video ’What is a Species?,’ we talked about the many ways scientists approach classifying organisms. So, I thought it’d be fun to get a few scientists from The Field Museum to apply their taxonomic know-how on something we’re all familiar with: candy! How would you have organized these various confections?
This experiment in classification can be used with anything from pasta, to cell phones, beverages, cereals... seriously, start asking your friends and family if they think Pepsi and Coca-Cola are synonymous species, or similar via convergent evolution, and you’re sure to have a lively Tuesday night.
