Drs. Peter and Mary Grant verified Darwin’s theory of natural selection **by making observations over a long period of time**. They conducted extensive research on the finches of the Galápagos Islands, documenting how beak size and shape changed in response to environmental pressures such as food availability, which provided strong evidence for natural selection in action.
