ANSWER THE FOLLOWING

LUFE ON EARTH - A TIMELINE
4.6 BILLON YEARS AGO
Origin of the Earth from a swirling
disk of gas, dust and debris
surrounding the infant sun.
4 To 3.7 BILLON YEARS AGO
ABAUT 1.2 BILLION YEARS AGO
First multi-celled organisms are
thought to have appeared. Around
the same time, sex was invented.
Life begins! Scientists believe it didn't take long after the
infant Earth cooled from a molten, asteroid-bombarded hell
for microbes to start spreading. Chemical evidence suggests
life had originated before 3.7 billion years ago. No one knows
exactly when it happened, or how it happened, but scientists
have devised some plausible scenarios by which complex
molecules organized themselves into something like DNA,
which could start evolving through natural selection.
5 BILION YEARS A
4 RILLION YEARS AGO
415 - 315 MILLON YEARS AGO
Invasion of the land! First plants colonized the continents,
then insects, and then, with all that good stuff up there to eat,
vertebrates. The fish best equipped for the journey to land
were species with muscular fins that had come in handy for
crawing around the bottoms of swamps.
Eventually, those fins became limbs.

Giant continent
begins to
break apart.
Age of dinosaurs abruptly ends.
Many scientists believe they died
in a mass extinction precipitated
by an asteroid impact and
subsequent cimate change.
What they don't know is why dinosaurs
died and not early alligators, turtles, and
mammals survived. Some descendants of
dinosaurs still survive: birds.
Human lineage
diverges
from that
of our closet
living relatives,
chimpanzees.
Continents unite
to form Pangea.
A mass extinction
Apes appear.
Age of dinosaurs

takes place
wiping out 95%
of all species
that had inhablted
the Earth.
