Many land-based animal and vegetable life forms, of similar and identical 
species even, live on widely scattered islands--so widely scattered, in 
fact, that it is hard to imagine they were ever connected in the past by 
land. (It is hard to imagaine, for example, that Pangea ever included all 
the Pacific islands.) How did these life forms get from their supposedly 
unique places of origin to all the places where they live today?
