    One day in 1855‚ Charles Darwin went for a walk in London. He saw some pigeons and wondered if they had a common ancestor as fancier pigeons. He observed them and concluded that both species descended from the rock dove. He believed that since man could breed several forms from a single thing‚ nature could too.
