Evolution and Finches
- Main Article: Darwin's finches
The beak evolution of Galapogos Finches ("Darwin's Finches") helped Darwin postulate his theory of evolution, although variation in beak size demonstrates only microevolution of preexisting genetic framework. Furthermore, the changes in beak size is observed over short spans of time, supporting creationist theories of speciation, rather than evolution.[1]
