E. Evidence from Biogeography Biogeography is the study of geographical distribution of fossils and living organisms. Organisms usually arise in areas where similar forms already exist. Closely related species are usually found in areas that are geographically close to each other. Similar organisms may also be found in different locations which could mean that the two places were previously connected. Observe the illustrations below. cassowary ostrich Africa Giant Pangelin Afnca South America Giant Armadillo Papua New Guinea North America kiwi Australla Spiny Anteater Oceania rhea Giant Anteater South America emu New Zealand 1. Explain why unrelated species from different regions around the world look alike.
