Geologists and paleontologists have found traces of a lost continent between Europe, Africa and Asia.
Back then Western Europe and Eastern Asia were separate pieces of land with different animal faunas.
The discovery of the Balkanatolia explains the massive colonization of Europe by Asian animal species.
This allowed Asian mammals to cross into the European continent 35 million years ago and this contributed to their evolution.
