Interpretation: Darwin's 'inhabitants of various regions' are read as the genus-level composition of three well-recorded groups (Mammalia, Aves, Tracheophyta); 'climatal and other physical conditions' as the NASA POWER temperature and precipitation climatology; 'similarity' as Jaccard similarity of genus lists. His 'accounted for' is read comparatively: climate distance should explain less of the variation in biotic similarity than does being on the same land mass, and his own example (Australia, South Africa, western South America at 25-35 degrees S) is tested directly as the climate-matched cross-continental pairs. The absolute wording ('neither ... nor ... can be accounted for') is not testable as stated because climate obviously limits distributions within a continent; the comparative reading is the one tested. Regions and climate classes were fixed before any data were retrieved.
