The same is true of many plants whose ancestral seeds found
their way to these islands. The many species of the beautiful
Hawaiian Silver Sword and their relatives, collectively known
as the Hawaiian Silver Sword Alliance, are an example of
adaptive radiation in plants over millions of years from an
ancestral pacific coast tarweed. Nor is that an isolated
example, fully 95% of Hawaii's endemic plant species are found
nowhere else in the world.

Mauritania had the Elephant Bird and the Dodo, neither one of
which flew there, and they sure as hell didn't swim. Perhaps
Noah dropped them off there while trying to find his way back
to the Middle East, you think?
Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island, was separated
from other landmasses for 88 million years. During that time
plants and animals on the island evolved in isolation; 80% of
which exist nowhere else in the world. In each of these areas,
evolution took separate paths that refute the creationist
concept of a creation event.
Since birds can fly and establish new and distant populations,
they can establish diverse populations where genetic drift
alone could result in new species and be further shaped by
