    Charles Darwin proposed that evolution occurs through natural selection, where organisms best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on beneficial traits. By observing finches on the Galapagos Islands, Darwin developed his theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains how species slowly change over generations through a process of adaptation or risk becoming extinct.
