Darwin observed that primate like animals that looked vaguely like us, evolved over time to stand upright, evolve large brains, and advanced vocalization through saying how if an early primate had these adaptions, would look much like we all do today.

Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's observations?
During Darwins visit to the Galapagos island he observed that these islands had many unique organisms, most of which were similar to but different from the plants and animals from the nearest mainland.... thus this indicated how population evolved. Darwin called this "descent with modification" meaning an ancestral species could diversify into many descendant species by the accumulation of adaptation to various environment. His observation described the theory of evolution.
What were darwins views about the origin of species before he sailed on the beagle?
Prior to sailing on the Beagle, Darwin was yet to observe different species of animals and plants in different regions. The observations were valuable in conceptualizing evolution. Before the voyage, Darwin believed that species were confined to different geographical locations, but ideas of species adaptation and evolution were nonexistent.
How are Dobzhansky and Mayrs ideas about the origin of species similar to Darwins?
They thought the evolution of new species is linked to environmental changes
Who recognized that species evolved over time?
Aristotle
What species have evolved due to geographic isolation?
Galapagos Finches (Darwin's)

Explain how Darwins finches illustrate the principle of character displacement?
This new species needed the same resources so they competed for food and they started to evolve and soon had new beaks. Now that they evolved, they could eat different food and actually survived!

What was the name of Charles Darwins' famous book?
"The Descent of Man" was published in 1871.
What factor indicates that a population has evolved into 2 separate species?
The population has evolved into two separate species if the species in question no longer interbreed.
How could sharing the same basic bones among different species like bats and whales be a theory of evolution?
Assuming that it's because we all evolved from the same creature and that's why we all have bones
What explains how variations can lead to changes in a species?
variatio brings about evolutionary change with in species as over millions of years the have to adapt to the ever changing habbitats. take the horse for example millions of years ago it used to have multiple toes.yet over millions of years it has evolved to only have one toe
If Darwin believed we came from apes then where did apes originate from?
Apes and humans share a common ancestor that lived around 10-20 million years ago. This common ancestor gave rise to both the ape and human evolutionary lines. So, apes did not evolve from humans, but rather both humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor.
