Early humans first appeared in Africa. The oldest known fossils of early human ancestors, such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus, have been found in East Africa, indicating that Africa is the continent where early humans originated.
The Early Glossopteris Flora thrived during the late Paleozoic Era, primarily in the Permian period, approximately 300 to 250 million years ago. This flora is characterized by the presence of Glossopteris, a genus of seed ferns, which dominated the terrestrial ecosystems of the Southern Hemisphere. The extinction of the Glossopteris flora coincided with the end-Permian mass extinction event around 252 million years ago.
Africa Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
The first early humans were discovered in Africa. Hominin fossils and archaeological evidence dating back millions of years have been found across the continent, leading scientists to believe that Africa is the birthplace of modern humans.
Glossopteris is a fossil plant:-The Glossopteridales arose around the beginning of the Permian on the great southern continent of Gondwana. These plants (which have distinctive spathulate fossil leaves with reticulate venation) went on to become the dominant elements of the southern flora through the rest of the Permian but disappeared in almost all places at the end of the Permian. The only convincing early Triassic records are leaves from Nidpur in India, but even these records are somewhat questionable owing to faulting and complex juxtapositioning of Permian and Triassic strata at Nidpur.
shows that all three continents were once connected (joined) together. because the 'exact' same fossil types were found in all three different continents, which are now split from each other.
The plant genus that dominated glaciated regions during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic was Glossopteris. These plants were mainly gymnosperms that thrived in the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana. Their dominance in these regions is thought to be due to their adaptability to a range of environmental conditions.
