Detailed explanation-1: -1: Darwin’s Finches: Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most important differences between species are in the size and shape of their beaks, which are highly adapted to different food sources. The birds are all dull-coloured. They are thought to have evolved from a single finch species that came to the islands more than a million years ago.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did Darwin explain why the finches on the Galapagos Islands look so similar to each other except for their beaks? The finches all have a recent common ancestor but they evolved on different islands where different types of food are available.
