Yes, the witchtrials were about witchcraft. 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft “the devil’s magic”- and 20 were executed. Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were a mistake and compensated the families of those convicted. The story of the trials has become synonymous with paranoia and injustice.

The finches on the Galápagos Islands more closely resemble the finches on the nearby continent of South America than the finches

4vir4ik [10]

I believe the reason for this would be geographical evolution. Different ecosystems cause the finches to evolve differently over time. Also, since the finches on the Galápagos Islands are closer to the one in South America, it is likely that finches from there (South America) could have moved to the islands, contributing to the evolutionary process.
