Darwin noticed differences in the break shapes of finches On the various islands of the Galapagos and surmised that they all might have evolved from a common ancestor on the mainland. If Darwin had known about molecular biology, a field of study that did not exist at the time he lived, how might he have used it to test his hypothesis?
