Answer 1

The discovery of similar marsupial fossils across South America, Africa, Antarctica, India, and Australia supports the theory that those continents were once a part of one supercontinent. This idea is associated with the theory of continental drift and Pangaea, which suggests that these landmasses were once connected before separating over millions of years.
