Are they bizarre creatures out of science fiction? Strange beings that only exist in the deep sea? Actually, they are seeds displaying their intricate beauty under the microscope. It is fascinating that such tiny things will grow to become gigantic trees – The power of a seed. Seeds are not only fodder for animals, but they also shape the survival of the finches on the Galápagos Islands, according to Darwinian theory dating back to 1859. «It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.» – Charles Darwin. Read our book “The Origins of Form” to compare the trifling differences among the Galápagos finches and how seeds influence them.
