Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Recent research shows iguanas from North America drifted to Fiji on rafts of vegetation over a 5,000-mile journey millions of years ago, marking the longest travel by a non-flying vertebrate. Genetic analysis of 14 iguana species supports this oceanic route, shedding light on their evolutionary adaptations. Meanwhile, singer-songwriter James Taylor's music is set to inspire a new stage musical titled "Fire & Rain." The production, in early development, features an original story by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Letts and is directed by Tony Award-winner David Cromer. A timeline for the musical's premiere is still to be announced.
