http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2007/12/giraffe_species.phpThe above map is a very unique type of map because it is a proportional circle map, but it is one that relates to science and genetics. I think this is one of the best maps that I have found because the most important thing that I have learned in this class is that all things can be maps, if they explain or help the unknown become known, something that this map does well. This particular map represents different phenotypes of giraffes and by the size of their circle, their relative abundance in the world, helping to determine their relationship to one another and their ancestral placement.
