It is thought that the finches have a common ancestor. Separated on different islands, each island eventually produced different finches.
they all evolved from one finch by natural selection.
On the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin observed unique species of birds, tortoises, finches, and marine iguanas. These observations contributed to the development of his theory of evolution by natural selection.
Darwin hypothesized that the different finches on the Galapagos islands all had a common ancestor due to their similarities, but had evolved different beak shapes and sizes to adapt to different food sources on the islands.

The evolution of numerous species, such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor is called adaptive radiation.

The embryos help Darwin find that finches came from the same ancestor which they go through phases of evolutions, this depends on the island the finches are located. Darwin discover that in different islands the beak from the finches were bigger hence stronger to crack difficult shells from plans, but in a different island finches have smaller beaks to get nectar from that plants. Darwin came to the conclusion that finches adapt from their environment.
That the finches were similar to the ones on the mainland, but had adapted to the island environment.
