Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined. If Continental Drift had not occurred, the alternative explanations would be:

The species evolved independently on separate continents – contradicting Darwin’s theory of evolution.

They swam to the other continent/s in breeding pairs to establish a second population.
