The Beak of The Finch
The Beak of the Finch is important and relatively timely book for at least two reasons. It addresses the fact of evolution and natural selection thus proving how evolution is possible and I fact the explanation for all the theories we are aware of today. Secondly, Weiner's novel provides a scientific base which in a convincing manner that not only supports the claims of Creationists, but also of the critiques of many evolutionary theorists concerning the sufficiency of Darwinism. Weiner uses his ability draw the reader in by exhibiting thrilling documented theories of the continuing operation of what Darwin had laid the groundwork for . Darwin's theories turned out to be the major strength in proving evolution, or better known as natural selection. This process is presented not as something that occurred only one time, or only in secluded area but rather occurred constantly. He notes this is happening all around us and is accessible for all to see.
Weiner based his book on the works of Peter and Rosemary Grant in the Galapagos Islands. While focusing on theoretical value and the "unintentional" …show more content…
This same issue was observed by Darwin and with the finches of the Galápagos Islands, led to his discovery. The Grants observed how variability itself can also be different species to species. They decided that Darwin's “hypervariable finches, despite their secluded home, might have well been the key to a crucial breakthrough in our knowledge of evolution. Soon they started to collect measurements on twenty-one different kinds of finches that they found on seven islands. The potential in their project became apparent in such a short amount of time. Their measurements and mathematical analysis that were allowed by modern technology exposed a rate of variability in species, which remained unknown by scientists until
