the Falklands wolf last had a common ancestor six million years ago. “But canids didn’t show up in South America until two and a half million years ago,” he said, after the isthmus of Panama was formed."

That time-distance fits in with geological information from Steve Jones' book "Darwin's Ghost"; where on page 196, Jones writes ...

"Fifteen million years ago, life on Earth was much as it is today, but fifteen million years hence, because of the imperceptible creep of coastal California along the San Andreas fault, the Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles will run directly into the San Francisco Bay Bridge as the City of Angels migrates northwards."

"...fifteen million years hence, because of the imperceptible creep of coastal California along the San Andreas fault, the Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles will run directly into the San Francisco Bay Bridge as the City of Angels migrates northwards."

So that means that the Raiders will once again represent L.A.?
