Question
During his voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered that more than a dozen different species of finches lived there.

Darwin developed a hypothesis to account for the differences among these otherwise similar birds. He hypothesized that when one population of organisms is isolated from other populations for longer periods of time, then
