The Vampire Finch ( Geospiza difficilis septentrionalis) is an interesting bird.

Watch out for the evolution of the Vampire Sparrow!

hi everyone.. I need to do an essay on the galapagos flinches, the question is: Discuss how the flinches came to have different beak shapes.

Does anyone have any facts or something that could help me?
Thanks (:

The Grants are amazing scientists and human beings. Kudos to them and their incredible work. What a blessing they are to all of us!

The Galapagos Islands are the most incredible living museum of evolutionary changes, with a huge variety of exotic species (birds, land animals, plants) and landscapes not seen anywhere else.

“The Beak of the Finch” by Jonathan Weiner tells the history of the Grant’s project and the story of their experiences.

You know, I was out walking the other day, and I found myself at the bottom of a steep ridge leading up to an escarpment. And after taking only a few steps up that hill, I of course had to stop. If only it were possible to continue taking those little steps — what a great view I could have enjoyed from the top of the escarpment! Alas, we all know it impossible to climb a slope with many small steps. Walking just doesn’t apply to long distances. That’s why we designed helicopters.

What the Grant’s observed is micro-evolution/natural selection not macro-evolution. Look around at all the people groups around the world some have big beeks and some litlle beeks but they are are all human beings.

too bad there’s no dna sequence change involved in the finches beaks. too bad. too bad…it could have been so great for darwinism.
