average in 1976. (Beak depth is the distance between the
topmost and lowest points where the beak joins the head.)
Starting from this point, the researchers claimed that natural
selection had separated out those finches feeding on seeds
alone, and that those birds with beaks large enough to open
large, hard seeds had managed to survive.
In an article in the October 1991 Scientific American,

Peter Grant announced that this research offered direct evi-
dence of evolution. According to him, 20 cases of selection
were sufficient to turn a middle ground finch into a great

In fact, Peter Grant and his wife put a lot
of hard work into their research on the
Galapagos Islands. Yet when evaluated, all
their care and attention bore no fruit.
They committed a serious error by inter-
preting their findings according to evolu-
tionist preconceptions, rather than scien-
tific evidence.
