Micro-evolution is common and a LOT faster than Darwin thought possible. The only conclusion I can reach is living things are designed to micro-evolve in response to changed environments.

Remember Darwin's Galapogos finches?

In 1967, 100 identical finches were removed from a US Government Bird Reservation in the middle of the Pacific and taken about 300 miles away to a group of four small atolls. 17 years later they were found to have a variety of bill shapes and to have adapted in both behavior and bill shape and associated muscles to a variety of niches. Darwin thought it took 2 million years for the Galapogos finches to diverge but now we know it takes about 17 years. No way that could happen so fast based on natural selection working on via random mutations. Life must be designed to micro-evolve.
