Darwin explained his findings about the finches in the Galápagos Islands by proposing that they evolved from a common ancestor and adapted to different environments through natural selection. He observed variations in beak shapes among the finches that corresponded to their specific diets, leading him to theorize that these variations were the result of natural selection promoting traits that conferred a survival advantage in their respective habitats.
