How did Darwin explain the data about the finches on the various Galapagos Islands? Group of answer choices 1: they must have all evolved on one island and then spread to others 2: they were not always finches, but evolved from some other birds 3: a bird with a long narrow beak probably ate seeds, which were hard to crack 4: they had evolved different beaks because of the different food sources on the islands
