Brilliant! One of the kids asked in which country did the first plants arrive in. I explained that plants came about before countries. That Pangea map is just the job. (I also love maps, it appeals to the geek in me)
I like the ginger hair map. Wales, Ireland and Scotland all bright red.

I was shocked at the ginger haired proliferation in Wales to be honest. But I only know about 50% of the population (about eight people) so it must be the other eight.

Glad I could help. Ironic that "40 maps they didn't teach you in school" is now going to be taught in school.
I adore maps. I spent two hours in Stanford's last weekend.
A bunch of Scots must have emigrated there in the 1600s or something.
Vikings I reckon. They got everywhere.

Lovely jubbly, you could take a modern map and snip out the countries then give the 'jigsaw pieces' to the kids and see if they can fit them to make Pangea.

Except strangely not much red on the map in their original countries.
