This view is based on the continental drift and sea floor spreading. This theory by Wegener, led to the explanation of the origin of similar but widely isolated species. It attempts to answer the question: How has continental drift contributed towards present geographical distribution? It reveals that such distributions were part of a once continuous land mass that was split into continents that are now separated. The new resulting continents has led to species radiation, and therefore disjointed distributions.
