There is,however, a problem with them. The south Pacific islands (and Hawaii) are rather recent "volcanic creations". They have all been "colonized" by drift from the Americas. I see no reason why such drift couldn't operate in the opposite direction, especially in the south Pacific. The Galapagos, which I believe are a considerable distance from S.A., were so colonized. What none of the examples I have seen say is that there had to be HUMAN INTERVENTION for such spread of species. To my mind ocean currents are a sufficient explanation. But I am still open to the suggestion, even though I think it lacks evidence. In other words the question is still very much open.<BR/>Mollymollymewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608757779720671118noreply@blogger.com
