Eventually leading to a whole new species adapted to its environment. A main example, often associated with this theory is the Galapagos Finches.

He slowly began to show a few people what he had found and collected through his journey. One of these people being a geolgist named Charles Lyell. Darwin talked to Lyell about his observations of the elevation of the coast of …show more content…
