Solution

Darwin observed amazing diversity among the creatures which originated from a particular geographical area and radiated to the other habitat. The diversity in the type of beaks of finches adapted of different feeding habits on the Galapagos islands is considered as an example of adaptive radiation and serves as a evidence for origin of species by natural selection.
