Isolation from the mainland.
The unique ecological conditions of the Galapagos Islands, including their isolation and diverse habitats, have led to adaptive radiation among organisms. When species from the mainland arrived, they faced different environmental pressures, which drove natural selection and resulted in the development of distinct traits suited to their new surroundings. This process, coupled with limited gene flow between populations, has facilitated the emergence of numerous new species over time.
We all know that there is a kind of bird on the galapagos islands which is different between the two neighbouring islands. And it ended in reproductive isolation.That means that if you are isolated long enough from outside forces, like species on the Galapagos island, you evolve and are transformed into a new species, unlike those visible anyplace else.

Most animals found today are evolved forms of past species. For example, modern man has only existed for about 12 thousand years. However, recent discoveries have traced back human ancestry as far as some of the first organisms to ever exist, ancient fish-like beings. Through many, many millions of years, animals can evolve to become very different things. Here's another one: the closest living relative to the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex? Domestic chickens.
If the species is prevented from producing fertile offspring - the species will eventually become extinct.

The origin of new species. To be considered a member of a singe species, organisms must be capable of reproducing and producing viable offspring. Once they have evolved to become reproductively isolated, they can no longer fulfill these requirements and are considered separate species.

The fossil record shows that different species have evolved over time. The fossil record also provides evidence of how a specific organism evolved from earlier species. The fossil record shows that organisms have become more complex over time. It also shows which organisms lived during the same time period, which have a common ancestor, and which have become extinct.
No, Darwin believes that land animals traveled to the Galapagos Islands and adapted to the islands in different ways, causing them to become a different species.

Extinct (Extinction)
Few organisms have become extinct. Few organisms are rare species.
Yes. There have been several episodes of mass extinction. The worst was at the end of the Paleozoic era. The most famous came at the end of the Mesozoic, when the dinosaurs disappeared. Nature is cruel. Of course, some people say that species have not really become extinct, but merely evolved into different forms.
As they live the organisms comprising a species will age and die, they therefore need to reproduce (have babies) in order to replace the members of the species that die or the species will cease to exist (become extinct).
The Galapagos Islands are a World Heritage Site because of the many endemic species (not seen anywhere else) that live on each of the islands of this Archipelago. The Galapagos Islands also have the 2nd largest protected marine reserve in America with an extension of nearly 130,000 Km2
