Question
scientific investigations often lead to the formulation of new scientific questions. charles darwin reviewed his observations after he returned home from his voyage studying the selective breeding of pigeons. which question would he be prompted to ask based on his voyage? do living things change over time, and if so, how? are the galapagos finches and those on the mainland the same species? are pigeons related to the galapagos finches? can selection in nature also lead to a new species over time?
Darwin's work on selective breeding (artificial selection) made him wonder if a similar process (natural selection) could occur in nature and lead to new species over time. The question about selection in nature and new species ties in with his later development of the theory of evolution by natural selection. The other questions are either too specific (about finches and pigeons) or not as directly related to the broader implications of his observations on selective breeding and its potential parallel in nature.
