Darwin's theory • There are 5 main points on Darwin's theory on evolution 1. Competition: need for limited environmental resources 2. Adaptation: changing your characteristics 3. Variation: the same species looking different 4. Overproduction: not every animal can live 5. Speciation: two species cannot breed together any more

Darwin’s Finches • When Darwin arrived at the Galapagos islands he saw some finches • These finches were all very different • Their main difference was their beaks • Over time, birds who had beaks well suited to the available food were more likely to survive. • They had adapted to their surroundings so they could eat the food there was lots of • Darwin used these as an example that the same species can evolve into many species
