1. How did continental drift affect the Marsupials of Australia?

Marsupials evolved in South America, Australia and Antarctica. The evolution of marsupials was greatly affected by continental drift. When the Pangea, broke into present continents, one group of marsupials was isolated on the continental island of Australia while the other group remained in South America and the two groups evolved in parallel for some time.
