Gondwanaland... Today

You should post a similar topic to this in the ASB section, like have them ISOT a population of early (say bronze age) Humans to this world from and to different places.



Assuming the very, very, very improbable chance that Humanity (and thus its ancestral species) did evolve, it would be interesting.

Going by the map their are'nt a whole lot of mountain ranges, so you'll likely have some pretty large countries throughout history, probably a few mega-empires in the modern-day equivalent as well.

Naval development would be interesting, while navies and exploration ships will obviously get built their won't be as much of a need for them, since you can theoretically travel by land anywhere.
Aside from that the development of blue water fleets be very different, since the major places they'd be needed are either near the coast in the large shallow-water continental shelves or could simply travel between the islands, add to that the only large, true deep water areas are the huge world ocean where their won't be that much travel, since their's nothing their but a few small islands.
 
Unless you have a Cosmological POD, everything in space is staying the same.

I wonder: asteroid orbits are probably chaotic over million-year timescales; and having the continents distributed differently might affect the KT impactor's orbit on previous close passes to the Earth so that it hits the Moon (or some other body) instead of us.

But statistically, /some/ big rock is going to hit us over a 200 million year interval, just not that exact year and day.

not really - few mountain ranges mean there'll be a lot of deserts.

And most of the world's deserts are primarily controlled by one or a few states.

Deserts, by their nature are not areas that are gonna have alot of different countries.

The Permian Extinction event is all the evidence we need to know humans evolved 250MYA and invented an industrial revolution. :)
