10. Who first proposed the Theory of Evolution?
Darwin

11. What is Evolution?
Gradual change in a species over time through a process of natural selection.

12. Why would finches have different types of beaks?
Finches that ate insects had sharp, needlelike beaks
Finches that ate seeds had strong wide beaks
