Why are there no marsupials in Africa?
According to classical continental drift theory, the world originally had only one continent, Pangaea, which separated into Laurasia and Gondawana. Marsupials probably originated in modern-day China, which was then in eastern Laurasia. They circled around the globe. They went west through Eurasia to North America (which was then western Pangaea). North America was connected to South America and they went south into South America. Many remain there today. However, the Americas then split and they could not return to North America. South America was connected to Antarctica, and Antarctica was only slightly separated from Australia. Some marsupials stayed in South America, and some traveled to Australia through Antarctica. (Those that stayed in Antarctica went extinct when Antarctica traveled south into freezing areas.) Throughout this whole process, however, marsupials never crossed through Africa.
