These birds, although nearly identical in all other ways to mainland finches, had different beaks. Their beaks had adapted to the type of food they ate in order to fill different niches on the Galapagos Islands. Their isolation on the islands over long periods of time made them undergo speciation (form new species).
Darwin wrote about his travels in the book The Voyage of the Beagle and fully explored the information he gained from the Galapagos Finches in his most famous book On the Origin of Species.
It was in that publication that he first discussed how species changed over time.

Why would the Romans adopt all sorts of gods?

In the ancient world, the gods all had a specialty. They were rulers of certain aspects of life. For example, Mars was the god of war, Ceres the goddess of food and grain, etc. etc. When the Romans conquered other lands, they found that the gods of the other lands also covered the same "specialties" as their own gods and so they incorporated them into their pantheon.In the ancient world, the gods all had a specialty.
