Solar System
4.568 billion years ago.First not more than a swirling
cloud,Our solar systhem will become home
to all of us.
Moon
4,527 billion Years ago.
Born together with our planet, the moon as great influence over our climate, weather,
tides, and much more.
First Life
3.55 billion years ago.All life forms we know today,
and all those to come will be descendants of these first
microorganisms.
First Plants
510 million years ago,First organisms that could be recognized
as algaeHad grown in the sea.
Single chloroplasts existed along with the first ever life,
And may be considered plants too.
First Vertebrates
524 million years ago.An eel-like organism marked the
entranceOf generations of vertebrates to
come, including, eventually, humans.
Dinosaurs231.4 million years ago.They first appeared in the
Triassic periodAnd would be the dominant
vertebrates for 135 million years to come.
Today, we can only marvel at the remnants of their existence.
Mammals160 million years ago.
During the Jurassic period, alongside the dinosaurs
Lived the first rodent-like mammals. They would later survive
Unlike the dinosaurs and branch off into endless species, including
humans.
Extinction of Dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
The dinosaurs met their endIn what is thought to have been a catastrophic meteorite impact.
Mammals survived this and lived on the fungus growing
on the dead bodies of the giants.
Humans
1.3 to 1.8 million years ago.Apes that began to walk on two
feet,Homo erectus and Homo egaster
emerged from otherprimates
Agriculture
12000 years ago, humans began to settle their nomadic lives, and began to alter nature to their will instead of
following it. By planting seeds and keeping animals food became more abundant
and the race for civilization began.
Language
5000 Years ago, at last the Sumerians
Had the great idea to write down their tongue using
Symbols to transfer information over seas etc. without the danger of forgetting.With time, many other cultures caught up
to the idea.
Last Dodo350 years ago,
the last dodo was sighted.
This was another reminder of the sheer power wielded by the human race, both destructive and constructive.
