Evolution

Evolution is one of my favorite topics that we cover in science classes. I think it is amazing how we all started from cells and then over millions and millions of years we evolved to be what we are today. It's amazing. During the summer I spent a week in the Galapagos islands and that is one of the home places where you can noticeable see evolution take place. The famous study are the finches. scientist can pinpoint where the first bird originated and then they can map out the evolutionary changes and they can support their reasoning with environmental factors. Another example from the Galapagos are the giant turtles. Every islands has their own special turtle. The general body and is the same but there are slight differences with their shell. Like the finches it depends on their environment.
