They had descended with modification from a common mainland ancestor.
he looked at the different islands and found that the same species on every different island had adapted to their certain island
Charles Darwin was interested in the Galapagos Islands because of their unique ecosystem and biodiversity. He observed different species of animals, particularly finches, on different islands which helped him develop his theory of evolution through natural selection. The variations in species found on the islands played a key role in shaping his ideas on the origin of species.
He found different species of sparrows, fish, aquatic iguanas, and huge tortoises now called Galapagos tortoises. All these different species pointed to evolution
The Finch and the Giant Tortoise on the Galapagos islands.
No, evolution has created different species of finches on the Galapagos Islands. There are 15 different species that are found on the Galapagos islands.
They had descended with modification from a common mainland ancestor.

Lava Lizards can be found on all the Galapagos Islands, however saying that, different species of these lizards are found on different Islands.
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.
Darwin's Finches
They are from different species.
Darwin discovered unique species of finches and tortoises in the Galapagos Islands that helped shape his theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed how these species had adapted to different environments on different islands, leading him to propose that species can evolve over time to better suit their surroundings.
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.
