Answer:

had common ancestors but have become increasingly different.

Step-by-step explanation:

The occurrence of a divergent evolution could be described as the occurrence of a change in the nature or type of a previously existing species. The variation in habitat of galapogos characterized by the existence of divergent evolution establishes the fact that all the species possess a common origin where they all stem from(a common ancestral spiral) however, over time, deviation starts to set in causing variation in the nature and ways of the species. Hence, leading to differences in the these species.
