What does Geographic Distribution have to do with evolution?

Answer 1

Geographical Distribution of living species supports evolution because, as species are split up along the planet, they endure changes which better help they adapt to their surroundings. An example of this is with the Finches in Darwin's studies on the Galapagos Islands. They all came from the same breed of finch but branched off with different characteristics to survive on the different islands that they were surviving on.

Answer 2

In the past, finch-like birds from South America reached the Galapagos Islands where they became isolated. The finches spread into different niches and over time evolved into the many distinct species of the Islands.

Answer 3

Geographic Distribution shows how species adapt and evolve to fit their environment. Depending on where the species' habitat is, they have evolved to suit that area.

Answer 4

animals adapt to fit their environment
