Το μεγαλύτερο νησί, ονομαζόμενο επίσης Σοκότρα, αποτελεί
περίπου το 95% του συνολικού εδάφους του αρχιπελάγους της Σοκότρα.
Απομονωμένο απ τν υπόλοιπο κόσμο, το νησί αυτό έχει μία μοναδική χλωρίδα, το ένα τρίτο της οποίας δεν συναντάται σε κανένα άλλο μέρος της γης.
Πρόκειται για τόσο περίεργα φυτά, που πολλοί αποκαλούν τη Σοκότρα “το πιο εξωγήινο μέρος της γης”. Το BusinessInsider δημοσιεύει τις φωτογραφίες που δικαιώνουν τον ισχυρισμό.
Η Σοκότρα ανήκει στην Υεμένη

Και οι ίδιοι οι κάτοικοι της Σοκότρα είναι μοναδικοί, αφού πολλές από τις γυναίκες έχουν μια αλληλουχία DNA που δεν συναντάται πουθενά αλλού στη γη.

Many of the females are from a lineage of DNA found nowhere else on Earth.](http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/53dbabdbeab8eaad4f437f56-1200/the-people-of-socotra-are-unique-as-well-many-of-the-females-are-from-a-lineage-of-dna-found-nowhere-else-on-earth.jpg)
