Answer:
Darwin's discussion of bird species on the Galapagos islands relates to natural selection because the finches all have a recent common ancestor, but they evolved on different islands with different types of food, so the birds that weren't fit enough to survive the island conditions died, and the ones that did were "naturally selected."
Explanation:
The finches all have a recent common ancestor but they evolved on different islands where different types of food are available.
