It was a sign of a planet with new life, that their could be such a small bit of area with such a range of plant life and temperatures. The main part of the peninsular was made up of temperate rainforest, but to the west their was a hot jungle and to the east a mixtures of grassland and forests. To the north is a mountain with a lot of caves.
This is the start of life.
Two evolution points. You all live together.
