About the only folks who claim otherwise are trying to fit continental drift within religiously-based young earth ages. Is this what you are suggesting?

Uh, No. However, taking into consideration that catastrophic events such as earthquakes or the Christmas tsunami which moved some land as much as several miles, certain groups might of woke up one morning and discovered their kin many miles away on the other side of an abyss. Also considering how much father the origins of man have been pushed back in time, how do we really know when *human times* began? If not modern day humans, their ancestors? Not trying to argue just, asking questions.

OK.

There have been events in recorded history that would have had significant effects on populations. The largest that comes immediately to mind would have been the Toba volcanic eruption some 73,000 years ago. This is illustrated in Journey of Mankind.

The post-Ice Age floods in eastern Washington that formed the channeled scablands would also have been impressive, but there weren't very many people in that area at the time.
