Answer:

To him, the presence of identical fossil species along the coastal parts of Africa and South America was the most compelling evidence that the two continents were once joined.

Explanation:

If continents were able to move then looking at the map of Africa and South America, one might infer that they were once joined together.

The eastern part of South America looks like it can fit into the Central-Western part of Africa. This makes it seem as though both countries were once together.

Based on the fact that the continents actually are moving as a result of tectonic plate movements, it is a true fact that Africa and South America used to be joined together.

Other evidence include:

  • Presence of similar fossils in east South America and the coast of Western Africa
  • Similar landscape in east South America and west Africa

In conclusion, one would infer that both continents were once joined together.
