Darwin's finches are an ancestral mainland finch species that arrived on the galápagos islands and evolved into about 15 new species through adaptive radiation, while the finches on the mainland did not. what is the most plausible biological explanation for this?

the answer is c) abandoned properties that are contaminated with hazardous materials.

geologic time scale (for gradpoint) =)

for example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales .
