If plate tectonics is true doesn't that mean humans have been around since before the continents split?

Since plate tectonics is supposed to explain the fact that the same species of life are found on separate continents. Wouldn't that have to mean we have been around since the start too?If plate tectonics is true doesn't that mean humans have been around since before the continents split?
Nope. Humans can adapt to most any condition anywhere, so we've expanded to be almost everywhere.If plate tectonics is true doesn't that mean humans have been around since before the continents split?
The fact of tectonic plates being mobile has nothing to do with the origin of human beings. It certainly might explain how there are human beings in different parts of the world that are currently separated from each other, but implies nothing about when the got there, other than perhaps when the continents were touching. However, since mankind has been building rafts and boats for thousands of years, that could also account for it.
If plate tectonics is true? No, it is true. And no, it doesn't mean humans have been around that long.





You have to remember than humanity was centralized in Africa and Europe, and Asia for a long time. Humans, as we know it, have only been around for 200,000 years. People spread out by walking. Look at the Roman Empire. They just kept marching for the most part. And boats of some sort have been around forever.





Columbus didn't find the Caribbean until 1492. That was just a smidge over 500 years ago. America isn't even officially 300 hundred years old.





So, the short answer is, humans spread out because they developed more mobility, not because they were around when there was a super continent.
