<span>Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist who was the founding father of the theory of continental drift.  As far as climate was concerned, Wegener found glacial deposits, the remains of drifts of debris compiled by glacial action in tropical areas of the earth, where it was much too warm for glaciers to exist.  Likewise, he found the remains of tropical plants and animals that were located in areas much too cold to foster such life forms.  Wegener correctly postulated the continents must have been in different climatic environments at one time.  Then, they drifted, largely by the rotational spin of the earth to their present locations in totally different climates.  Wegener's idea of continental drift had a hard time gaining acceptance among the scientific community, as he had a weak mechanism explaining what could cause large land masses, such as the continents, to drift across large bodies of oceanic water to totally different climatic conditions.

How do you understand areas of the world, such as Bantu Africa and North America, that did not generate “civilizations”? Do you
lions [1.4K]
We can not say that this areas are not civilized or to call them backwards. We may call them different. We can take for example the uses of animals in order to expand the commerce of their area. If we research about the use of camels, for example, we could see that it gained an special place within those who wanted to travel through many difficult areas like deserts. So in the case of camels they were not backwards, they used a different method to obtain success
