How did animals evolve into modern animals?
Animals ended up evolving in to the modern day animals today because the work use to be connected together into one big supercontinent then it all separtated into smaller continents and eventually became like the world we know today. As all the continents separated the animals changed as well. This is because the climates changed as the continents changed so the animals evolved to suit those conditions. For example most of the native animals of Australia are very different to the ones anywhere else in the world this is because Australia has been separated from the rest of the world for an extremely long time so the animals have evolved differently from animals anywhere else in the world.
What is the that items that provided evidence that the continents were once closer together?
There are two basic evidences to support this theory: 1. Animals or plants of the same species can be found on separated continents (for example, Africa and Australia or North America and Europe) naturally, and have not been placed by man. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, allowing the animals and plants to disperse. 2. The continents all seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, but have since broken off and their Coastlines have eroded since then, which explains why they do not perfectly fit together.
