So a Hypothesis from a time where there was no theory of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics explains what was to explain about the similarities of fossil discoveries.
Thank you for your comment! You're absolutely right-Lemuria was a hypothesis proposed in the 19th century to explain the distribution of similar fossils and geological formations across continents. This was before the theory of plate tectonics was developed and widely accepted in the mid-20th century. Plate tectonics has indeed provided a comprehensive explanation for these phenomena, showing how continents drift over geological time. It's fascinating to see how scientific understanding evolves, and studying historical hypotheses like Lemuria gives us insight into the development of modern geology. Thanks for watching!
