The species diversity on the islands is one of the largest in the world, allowing for many examples of evolution.

The islands are easy to access from the mainland, and the climate is particularly well suited for research all year long.

The diversity in environments on each island provides many opportunities to study how related organisms have adapted over time.

Most species found on the islands are only found in this geographic area, which allows researchers to easily isolate their studies.

The best explanation for why the Galápagos Islands are still used for evolution research today is:
The diversity in environments on each island provides many opportunities to study how related organisms have adapted over time.
This is because the varying environments across the islands create unique ecological niches, leading to diverse adaptations among species that can be studied in relation to evolution.
