this persons took the others theory’s and organized them into the theory of evolution. He spent most of his studies on the gloapogoes islands, where he studied finches. He prospered the two ideas that species evolved over time, and that they did so because of natural selection

A	Darwin
B	Cuvier
C	Buffon
D	Lyell

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The name of Charles Darwin and his famous book The Origin of Species will forever be linked with the Galapagos Islands. Although he was only in the Galapagos for five weeks in 1835, it was the wildlife that he saw there that inspired him to develop his Theory of Evolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Darwin and a scientific contemporary of his, Alfred Russel Wallace, proposed that evolution occurs because of a phenomenon called natural selection. In the theory of natural selection, organisms produce more offspring than are able to survive in their environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Charles Darwin used the concept of a tree of life in the context of the theory of evolution to illustrate that all species on Earth are related and evolved from a common ancestor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eventually Darwin theorized that different species of finch had evolved on different islands, their distinctive beaks being an adaptation to distinct natural habitats or environmental niches. The woodpecker finch is one of the only birds to use tools to help him find food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Over time, Darwin began to wonder if species from South America had reached the Galapagos and then changed as they adapted to new environments. This idea-that species could change over time-eventually led to Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.
