- Hello. My name is Charles Darwin and I am here to share my discovery on the evolution and natural selection of the Galapagos Finches. They started off on a small island called the Galapagos about 2 million years ago and were just simply called finches due to them not being on any island specifically. They were small brownish grayish birds with small short beaks big enough to only eat small insects and seeds they could find on the island.
- I calculated the distance from South America to the Galapagos on my journey here and it is approximately 605 miles, which is quite far. I assumed that since all the finches did not make it to this island they had to have different mutations that they did not share due to the distance. They adapted to their environments. So here began my study of all the different kinds of finches on different parts of the Galapagos compared back to the ones in South America.
- I, Charles Darwin have discovered evolution and its relation to natural selection. Thank you for coming along with me on my journey to discover the functions of the species modifications over time.
- I found it interesting as to how these birds flew all the way to the Galapagos. I decided to do some research to figure out why they came here and how they knew there was an island here. Then I discovered that they in fact did not migrate here on purpose. They were pushed over here by wind from South America.
- In conclusion my discovery was that the Galapagos Finches showed evolution through adaptations to their environment when migrating from South America to the Galapagos Islands.
- can you find all 5?
- Come along with me next time on my discovery of the peppered moth!
