This is called evolution......which Charles Darwin discovered in 1859. He went to the Galápagos Islands. He found finches and other kinds of birds. He realized that some of the birds looked a lot alike but they had just one thing different about them. Charles realized that usually the thing that was different was something that would help them survive easier. Some birds had a longer beak for grabbing bugs while others had thicker beaks to crack open seed pods.

Scientists will probably look at the birds' beaks, feathers, skeletal structure to see if they are closely related.

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, how do new species evolve?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, new species evolved as a result of natural selection.

Explanation:

Darwin proposed that speciation could readily occur through the prolonged action of Natural selection.
Natural selection allows the 'survival of the fittest' i.e. a more fit organism will have a better chance of survival than the less fit one.
The result of Natural selection could be positive,negative or balancing.
Evolutionary process in which the genetic changes confer a higher fitness to increase frequency of the organism over time in population is called positive selection.
Evolutionary process in which genetic changes decreases the organism's fitness resulting in its disappearance from the population is called Negative selection.
It may happen that a mutation benefits hetero-zygotes but not homo-zygotes and alleles maintain a intermediate frequency in population.This evolutionary process is called balancing selection.
