You hear this argument in Mormon circles: that Adam migrated to Missouri to finally bless his posterity which was possible because of the single land mass and Adam living a long time. At least I have (it seems like Chino was joking about it but I have heard people seriously advance this argument). I have also never understand how this works for people or the kind of underlying assumptions they are making about the geology and biology. I think Pangaea is hypothesized to have split apart from 250 million to like 50 million years ago and the first fossil record of a homo-sapien is dated to about 250,000 years ago.
