Features: This book tells the story of the scientific exploration by two scientists at Princeton University, the Grants. These two renowned biologists led a research team to the Galápagos Islands to study Darwin's finches for over twenty years. Over these two decades, the finches living on the island underwent remarkable changes, presenting us with a living example of evolution. The author provides a detailed description of the finches' living environment and the impact of the environment on them, documenting the subtle and sometimes dramatic changes in the finches, vividly illustrating Darwin's theory of biological evolution.
