It is thought that the finches have a common ancestor. Separated on different islands, each island eventually produced different finches.

Why is the Galapagos Islands so important to the world?
The finches of the Galapagos Islands provided Charles Darwin with the inspiration for his Theory of Evolution. They provided the basis of modern biology. The differences found between species in such a small place are important for the study of Bioogy.
Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's theory?
It was where he developed his theory. The Galapagos are considered the "Laboratory of Evolution." Evolution is easily observable here.
Which feature of galapagos finches was important to Darwin in developing his theory of natural selection?
Darwin noticed that the finches in the Galapagos Islands had different types of beaks. He concluded that this meant they must have evolved these beaks, so that each type could find food.
How did the study of Galapagos finches help Darwin to form some of his theories and how do we know that some of these theories are true?
The subtle differences between the beaks of Galapagos finches, and their distribution over the different islands helped Darwin to formulate his theory of Natural Selection. We know that this is true because it is constantly observable in the world around us.
What did things did charles darwin discover?
He didn't discover much other than the interesting variations in the shapes of the Galapagos finches' beaks. He formulated the famous Theory of Evolution, however, which might answer the question.
What bird Charles Darwin breed to test his theory?
Galapagos finches
What feature of Galapagos finches was important to Darwin in developing his theory of natural selection?
He noticed that there were different species of finches.
What bird did Charles breed to test his theory?
Galapagos finches
The Galapagos Finches were best known for their?
The Galapagos Finches are best known for the difference in their beaks and also because they were Charles Darwin's inspiration for the Theory of Evolution.
Who found a fossil on Galapagos islands that backed up Darwins theory?
Richard Owen
What bird did Charles Darwin breed to test his theory?
Charles Darwin bred pigeons to test his theory of evolution through natural selection. By selectively breeding pigeons with specific traits, he was able to observe how variations in a population could be passed on to the next generation.
What observation supports Darwin's theory?
The finches: the theory was supported by when he visited the Galapagos islands and the finches were blown to another island and they had to adjust their beak size to live and eat.
What animals other than finches did Charles Darwin find on the galapagos islands?
Finches...he based his theory on the shape of their beaks

The life found on this island group provided the basis for much of charles DArwins theory of evolution?
Those Islands would be the Galapagos Islands.
The galapagos are famous for their contribution to?
The Galapagos islands are famous for being the stimulus point for Charles Darwin´s Theory of Evolution, based primarily upon his later study of finches and their beaks.
How did the galapagos finch get to the galapagos islands?
These special Birds called "Darwin's or Galapagos Finches" have special adaptations to various habitats were important evidence considered by Charles Darwin in formulating the theory of evolution; they are a striking example of adaptive radiation. They evolved because of their surroundings, the beaks their ancestors had couldn't function properly on the island.
