I mean, given that Peridot has openly committed treason, Jasper is MIA, and the Ruby team sent to ascertain her status is also missing, I imagine that's going to happen sooner than later, and I wouldn't be surprised if the homeworlders come in force.
The season 4 finale will involve homeworld gems coming in force, with a small but still overwhelming expeditionary force showing up at Earth. The Crystal Gems attempts to fight back end in a Curb-Stomp Battle, and just when it seems all is lost, our heroes get some help from everyone's favorite non-malicious monster (the Cluster and perhaps the other cluster gems), forcing the homeworlders to retreat. Unfortunately, the Diamonds are now perfectly aware that the Crystal gems are still alive, and that the Cluster is currently bubbled.

I think bringing up the writing just introduces some elements that would be harder to explain away with a Hand Wave, but it was a nice little reveal for the individual episode's plot with Centi.
Something that bothers me is how different earths geological history is. In our world. West Africa started to split off from Africa, but stopped. In Steven Universe, West Africa remained attached to South America when it split off. And wtf happened with Australia ? How do humans exist???

Steven universe is, in fact, set thousands of years in the future. The Gem invasion and subsequent civil war sent humans back to the stone age, and we've only now recovered to modern levels of technology.

The same reason humans are able to survive any type of global change in post-apocalyptia.
Except this change happened way before life existed...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Gems didn't arrive on earth until several millennia ago. These geological differences would have been set in motion 250 million years ago, likely before even gems existed
It matters because of all the major changes in evolution that would cause! There were groups of animals isolated from eachother when South America split off from Africa. Not to mention the affect on global climate! For crying out loud, North America isn't connected to South America ! That's a big freaking deal!

Much older than any human, indeed.
