Charles Darwin saw that tortoises on each Galapagos island (these islands had drastically different environments) were all different. Darwin observed that all the tortoises had different shells that helped with there survive in each unique environment. He wondered why this was the case and how tortoises from islands so close could be drastically different. This lead him to theorize the famous theory of natural selection. That environment effect survival for the ones who are the best suited for it.

Does this help?

Hi

Charles Darwin was the founder of Eveolution, and he had to conduct many observations to be sure of his conclusions, until he finally came up with the theory of evolution, which is that every anumal evolves over time slowly depending on the changes in the genes.

That is why Charles Darwin is a good example of how observations can lead to great scientific questions...

Hope this helped you

Have a blessed day :-)
