But I do not believe that it will ever be proved that within the recent period most of our continents which now stand quite separate, have been continuously, or almost continuously united with each other, and with the many existing oceanic islands.
Baina ez dut uste aldi modernoaren barruan, inoiz frogatu denik egun erabat bereiz dauden gure kontinenterik gehienak etenik gabe, edo ia etenik gabe, elkarrekin eta ozeanoan ugari diren irla guztiekin bat eginik egon direnik.
