Director Statement
The documentary tells the story of Dorothea Bate as a cultural, historical and social reference, which a hundred years ago put The Balearic Islands on the international scientific map with the discovery of Myotragus balearicus, a species unknown until then and that only existed in Mallorca and Menorca during the Pleistocene. The finding of Myotragus balearicus contributed greatly to theories of species evolution on the islands, especially in the Mediterranean. Dorothea Bate, who at one time received great international recognition for her discovery, fell into oblivion after her death.
