1.) Do you think evolution is still taking place in the Galapagos finches? Why or why not?
According to what I’ve learned yes evolution is still taking place in the Galapagos finches. Isolation and gene mutations cause species to evolve into different things. This could be a bad example but people with down syndrome, they all look the same because of that one mutation in their genes, it's kind of like they are their own people because of one gene mutation.
2.) Discuss whether or not human activities lead to speciation. Explain your reasoning.
Human activities disrupt speciation as human activities are disrupting the isolation of the species. Human activities disrupt all species in good and bad ways, they even disrupt each other in both good and mostly bad ways. Human activities do not lead to speciation they disrupt it.

2. Humans are ones who lead in speciation and that we can say that they contribute to speciation. Speciation is termed as the process of evolution by which population evolves to become species.Some of the geographic modes of speciation in nature are sympatric, parapatric, peripatric, and allopatric.
Speciation can take place in polyploid. For example, doubling of chromosomes number where the result of being immediately reproductively isolated from a population of the parent.
