Antilles May Have Been Continental In Area Ages Ago
West Indies fossils from Porto Rico and Cuba suggest a possible ancient mainland connection for the Greater Antilles. Captain H. K. Anthony of the American Museum cites evidence of a vast Antillean continent with rivers and mountains, possibly 20,000 feet high, extending toward Central America and including the Danish West Indies. Fossil mammals dated to about 100,000 years ago were found in Pleistocene limestone caves in Jamaica, aiding the continental theory.
