Does Pangaea have anything to do with human evolution?

Pangea split apart about 200 million years ago. Homonids only evolved about 14 million year ago, and Homo sapiens, or humans like us, only evolved around 400000 to 200000 years ago. We know all this to be true based on mountains of evidence: everything from geology to genetics to fossils to chemistry. read more

We know all this to be true based on mountains of evidence: everything from geology to genetics to fossils to chemistry. As far as science is concerned, both plate tectonics (the knowledge that land masses move, and were once connected as Pangea) and evolution of life including humans are proven facts. What you are asking is about human biogeography. read more

More than a century ago, the scientist Alfred Wegener proposed the notion of an ancient supercontinent, which he named Pangaea (sometimes spelled Pangea), after putting together several lines of evidence. read more
