Darwin's observation of the Galápagos Islands finches' various beaks and behaviors can be explained by adaptations forged by natural selection. Darwin proposed that species with favorable characteristics for their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing their advantageous traits to their offspring. This process, known as natural selection, can result in the adaptation of a species to its environment over time.
