It was by deciding to collaborate with researchers from disciplines as varied as geophysicists, field geologists, paleontologists, and geneticists that Philippe Münch, a researcher at Géosciences Montpellier, launched the GAARAnti project… Together, they are seeking to validate the hypothesis that land bridges between the South American continent and the Caribbean islands may have allowed the migration of “rats” that grew to gigantic size (Amblyrhiza inundata) and are now extinct.

It didn’t take long for the group to feel the desire to share their passion with as many people as possible—and especially with young people. That’s how the animated film “The End Justifies the Means” came to be, the result of a collaboration between students at the Objectif 3D animation school, comic book artist PtiLuc, and the participants in the GAARAnti project.
