One thing we can observe is that parts of the planet have been completely isolated from each other for many millions of years, until very recently when human travel has brought "invasive species" to places where they've never been.

I think this proves that there was no civilization advanced enough to travel between continents for however many millions of years the evolutionary isolation can be proven. I'm guessing it's at least some dozen Megayears.
