And I don't want to confuse adaptation with evolution. Adaptation to the environment has been proving, but even in the Origin of Species, Darwin noted the birds beaks going back to original states when conditions returned to the original conditions he witnessed.
Well first off, it isn't
proof of anything, just as I stated before. It's evidence.
Not to confuse adaptation with evolution: the climate, flora, etc is pretty much the same on the North rim vs. the South rim. By simple virtue of being separated, the two species diverged from each other even in the same environment. If the conditions were different, maybe they were adapting to their surroundings. I think it's a good example of how living things just up and change on their own. If those changes are advantageous, or even neutral, they stick.
