The presence of the same species' fossils on separate continents could be explained by the theory of continental drift, where landmasses gradually moved apart over millions of years, or through the existence of land bridges that allowed the species to migrate before the oceans separated the continents. Additionally, it could result from similar environmental conditions that led to parallel evolution in different regions.
