It is thought that the finches have a common ancestor. Separated on different islands, each island eventually produced different finches.
a common ancestor
originated from a common ancestor
The Galápagos Islands had finches that once shared a common ancestry. Darwin found that finches on one island had, over many generations, developed and adapted in differing ways to finches from other islands.

The finches were different species that shared a common ancestor

a common ancestor
Famously Charles Darwin studied some finches that he collected when he visited the Galapagos Islands during his voyage on the Beagle. He preserved the specimens he had collected and studied them when he returned to England. He used his observations of the variations in these finches as part of his evidence supporting his theory of evolution. He also studied the breeding of pigeons and domestic poultry.

That the finches were similar to the ones on the mainland, but had adapted to the island environment.
Geographic isolation of a common ancestral species of finches
he saw that in the different places and things the finches ate made their beak a different size and shape to adapt to their surroundings
Geometric isolation of common ancestral species of finches has led to the development of 14 different species of finches in the Galapagos Island due to the concept of diversification.
The finches were isolated by island, the many islands of the Galapagos archipelago, their distinctive beaks were adapted to the food available in their given locations, and all descended from a common finch.
