Geologists found fossils of similar marsupials from the same time period across South America, Africa, Antarctica, India and Australia. What theory is supported by this discovery?

Answer 1

This discovery supports the theory of continental drift, specifically the idea that these continents were once connected as part of a supercontinent called Gondwana. The presence of similar marsupial fossils across these continents suggests that there was once a shared landmass that allowed for their dispersal and subsequent evolution in isolation.
