Hello there.

Scientific investigations often lead to the formulation of new scientific questions. The observations Charles Darwin made during his time aboard the H.M.S. Beagle prompted him to ask which question?
Can the accumulation of gradual changes in a population lead to a new species over time?

Answer 2

Are organisms able to evolve?

Step-by-step explanation:

At the time, species were considered to be fixed. Change in species, especially change from one species into another was not considered possible. However, his observations made Darwin question this, because he observed species that were unique in isolated islands, that were related to other, common species present on the continent. His conclusion was that isolation had brought species from the continent to change into new species when they had to adapt to the new conditions on the islands.
