∙ 13y agoHe observed that there were many different variations of traits, such as beak size, color, etc., although they were all still finches. He hypothesized that all of the finches share a common ancestor, and over time have evolved from that common ancestor, passing on the most favorable traits for survival in that environment (survival of the fittest, transmission of favorable characteristics).
