Scientists found evolution repeating itself in the Galápagos Islands

The Galápagos Islands continue to be a treasure trove for evolutionary biology, revealing fascinating insights more than 150 years after Darwin's visit. A recent study focused on the Galápagos giant daisies, which have adapted rapidly to diverse habitats since arriving from mainland South America. Researchers found that these plants developed similar leaf shapes independently through different genetic pathways, showcasing a remarkable example of parallel evolution. This ongoing research not only highlights the islands' unique biodiversity but also suggests that new species may still be emerging.
