14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change
Land Environments
The History of LifeChapter 14
Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago.
Gravity pulled the densest elements to the center of the planet.
After about 500 million years, a solid crust formed on the surface.

Clues in Rocks
The History of Life
A fossil is any preserved evidence of an organism.
Most organisms decompose before they have a chance to become fossilized.

Fossil Formation
The History of Life
Nearly all fossils are formed in sedimentary rock.
The sediments build up until they cover the organism’s remains.
Minerals replace the organic matter or fill the empty pore spaces of the organism.

Dating fossils
The History of Life
Relative dating is a method used to determine the age of rocks by comparing them with those in other layers.

The geological time scale is a model that expresses the major geological and biological events in Earth’s history.
The Geologic Time Scale
The History of Life
The geologic time scale is divided into the Precambrian time and the Phanerozoic eon.
Eras of the Phanerozoic eon include the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.
Each era is divided into one or more periods.

Nearly 90 percent of Earth’s entire history, stretching from the formation of Earth to the beginning of the Paleozoic era about 542 million years ago
Precambrian
The History of Life
Autotrophic prokaryotes enriched the atmosphere with oxygen.

The ancestors of most major animal groups diversified in what scientists call the Cambrian explosion.
The Paleozoic Era
The History of Life
Life in the oceans continued to evolve at the end of the Cambrian period.
Fish, land plants, and insects appeared during the Ordovician and Silurian periods.
The first tetrapods emerged in the Devonian.

The Mesozoic Era
The History of Life
Mammals and dinosaurs first appeared late in the Triassic period, and flowering plants evolved from nonflowering plants.
Birds evolved from a group of predatory dinosaurs in the middle of the Jurassic period. About 65 million years ago, a meteorite struck Earth.

These plates, some of which contain continents, move atop a partially molten layer of rock underneath them.

Unit 7 (Chapter 14) The History of Life
Section 2: The Origin of Life
Learning Goals:
•Differentiate between spontaneous
generation and biogenesis
•Sequence the events that might have lead to
cellular life
•Describe the endosymbiont theory
![Page 20: Unit 7 History of Life Notes](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a977721a28ab800e8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
14.2 The Origin of Life
Origins: Early Ideas
The History of Life
Spontaneous generation is the idea that life arises from nonlife.
Francesco Redi, an Italian scientist, tested the idea that flies arose spontaneously from rotting meat.
Chapter 14

14.2 The Origin of Life
Origins: Early Ideas
The History of LifeChapter 14
The theory of biogenesis states that only living organisms can produce other living organisms.
Louis Pasteur designed an experiment to show that biogenesis was true even for microorganisms.
![Page 22: Unit 7 History of Life Notes](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a977721a28ab800e8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Origins: Modern Ideas
The History of Life
Simple organic molecule formation
The primordial soup hypothesis was an early hypothesis about the origin of life.
Organic molecules could have been synthesized from simple reactions.
UV light from the Sun and electric discharge in lightning might have been the primary energy sources.
14.2 The Origin of Life

![Page 23: Unit 7 History of Life Notes](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a977721a28ab800e8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Stanley Miller and Harold Urey were the first to show that simple organic molecules could be made from inorganic compounds.
The History of Life
Later, scientists found that hydrogen cyanide could be formed from even simpler molecules in simulated early Earth environments.

Making Proteins
The History of Life
Life requires proteins.
One possible mechanism for the formation of proteins would be if amino acids were bound to a clay particle.

Genetic Code
The History of Life
Some RNA sequences appear to have changed very little through time.
Many biologists consider RNA to have been life’s first coding system.
Other researchers have proposed that clay crystals could have provided an initial template for RNA replication.

Cellular Evolution
The History of Life
Scientists hypothesize that the first cells were prokaryotes.
Many scientists think that modern prokaryotes called archaea are the closest relatives of Earth’s first cells.

Photosynthesizing Prokaryotes
The History of Life
Archaea are autotrophic.
They do not obtain their energy from the Sun.
Archaea also do not need or produce oxygen.

The History of Life
Many scientists think that photosynthesizing prokaryotes evolved not long after the archaea.
Prokaryotes, called cyanobacteria, have been found in rocks as old as 3.5 billion years.

The Endosymbiont Theory
The History of Life
The ancestors of eukaryotic cells lived in association with prokaryotic cells.
The relationship between the cells became mutually beneficial, and the prokaryotic symbionts became organelles in eukaryotic cells.
This theory explains the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria.
