Answer to Question 1

The German meteorologist Alfred Wegener proposed the existence of Pangaea in 1915.

Answer to Question 2

A population that is not separated will interbreed, so there will be little opportunity for different
species to form. If a barrier separates that population and if conditions are different on either side of
the barrier, natural selection will favor certain traits over others, and over time the two different
populations of organisms may evolve to become different species.
