[00:00.430]No matter how remote the Hawaiian islands are,or how hostile,
[00:04.290]there is one creature that has reached almost all of them
[00:07.320]The mourning gecko
[00:08.600]It is the ultimate castaway,
[00:10.510]the marathon winner on the long journey from New Guinea
[00:13.800]Incredibly,
[00:14.800]the female mourning gecko has done away with the need for a mate
[00:18.470]Instead, she simply produces eggs that need no fertilisation
[00:22.460]So one single female washed up on an island could start a whole population
[00:27.700]Along with this extraordinary ability
[00:30.070]these thick-skinned and salt-resistant geckos
[00:32.580]could also survive long sea passages on rafts
[00:36.680]and even the force of cyclones
[00:39.560]But there is more to the gecko's story than this
[00:42.980]Less than 2,000 years ago,
[00:44.940]something happened that was to revolutionise the spread of plantsand animals
[00:51.420]Taking to their sailing boats once more,
[00:53.950]descendants of the Lapita left the central Pacific
[00:57.580]and set off again in search of new lands into the great unknown
