Monotremes (like echidnas and platypus) are known to have been in Australia and South America while they were still part of Gondwana, but the oldest marsupials we know of are from the early Cainozoic (about 62 million years ago) after the separation, from both Australia and South America. For them to appear on both continents there must have been some common ancestor in Gondwana, but we are still looking for it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
