A blind cavefish was hiding in underground rivers, and it may change how scientists see evolution

Scientists found out the Southern Cavefish is actually three species, not one! A new one evolved alone for about eight million years. Researchers said, "the taxonomy had long been wrong." This discovery, with genetic and bone studies, shows how much we still have to learn about life hidden underground.
