Darwin saw the varieties of finches on the islands and even though they originated from a few migrating birds, they had adapted to the harsh environment in various ways. This gave him the idea for natural selection.
They differed depending on what island they were on.
different finch populations that appeared closely related
Darwin studied the beak of a finch to see how it adapted to the food it ate. hope it helps, good luck!! ;)
the galapagoes islands
The Galapagos Islands.
Charles Darwin observed that finch populations on the Galápagos Islands exhibited a variety of beak shapes and sizes, which seemed to correlate with the specific diets and ecological niches of the different islands. These variations indicated adaptations to their environments, such as larger beaks for cracking seeds or smaller beaks for insects. This led Darwin to develop his theory of natural selection, illustrating how species can evolve over time based on environmental pressures. Ultimately, these observations contributed significantly to his understanding of evolution and the concept of adaptation.
Darwin was puzzled about the many adaptations of the finches on the Galapagos Islands
right
A finch
The Galapagoes Finch is the bird on the Galagos Islands that Charles Darwin studies and formed the scientific theory of Evolution and Natural selection.
A warbler finch is a small bird species native to the Galápagos Islands. They are known for their warbler-like singing and unique feeding behavior, using tools to extract insects from crevices in wood and bark. Warbler finches play a key role in the ecosystem by helping to control insect populations on the islands.
