Scientists have been studying them since Darwin in 1835 and have watched them evolve.

Observation of all 15 species shows that they look incredibly similar, with minor changes to beak size and shape.

DNA analysis shows that their DNA is almost identical with only minor changes.

The best evidence that the 15 species of finch all evolved from one common ancestor is:
DNA analysis shows that their DNA is almost identical with only minor changes.
This genetic evidence provides strong support for the concept of a common ancestor, as closely related species typically exhibit minor variations in their DNA.
