  3. Charles Darwin contributed to evolution. He was the only naturalist that showed proof organism’s evolve over time. This really helped scientists understand the past, and what animals may evolve to in the future. He also discovered how animals, like finches from the Galapagos islands, look similar but have different body features, for which island they live on. When Charles visited the islands, he saw a different species of finch, but they had the same markings, just different sizes. With discovering evolution, scientists get a feel of what particular animals will look like in the future, or what they looked like in the past. It could also help scientists learn about what specific animals will grow which adaptations over time, and how they evolve due to climate change.
