Abstract
Analyzes the variation among Darwin's finches in the Galapagos Islands. The author measured various physical characteristics of the finches, particularly bill size and shape, and found extensive intergradation among the different species and genera. This suggests that the finches are all closely related and may represent variations within a single created kind rather than separate species or genera that evolved through natural selection. The author argues that an emphasis on bone structure as a primary basis for classification is outdated in light of our understanding of DNA and genetics. The article concludes that the genetic diversity attributed to natural selection is often exaggerated and calls for a new approach to vertebrate systematics that aligns with a creationist perspective.
