    Earth and Life Science

    Evolving Concept of life Based on


    Emerging Pieces of Evidence
    The filaments resemble chains of
    modern photosynthetic bacteria and
    the rocks in which they occur are the
    remains of ancient stromatolites.
    Timeline of Appearance of
    Life Forms
    The early earth is said to be violent because of the
    4.6-3.8 BYA meteorites and volcanic eruptions. With this
    condition, zircon crystal was formed.

    Life on Earth initially began with prokaryotes,


    3.5 BYA discovered in sedimentary rock formations called
    stromatolites.

    The first photosynthetic organism thrived the earth


    3.0 BYA which is blue green algae called cyanobacteria.

    Appearance of the first eukaryotes and the influx


    2.0 BYA of multicellular organisms occurred 1.2 billion
    years ago.
    Timeline of Appearance of
    Life Forms
    The Paleozoic era when the trilobites and
    cephalopods became dominant in the ocean
    500 MYA particularly during the Cambrian and
    Ordovician.

    The Mesozoic era-the age of reptiles that has


    251-65.5YA a span of 251 to 65.5 MYA divided into
    Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous period..

    The Cenozoic era- recent life and based


    250 TYA on paleontological evidence. Homo
    erectus have evolved.
    The genus Homo gave rise to modern humans, Homo sapiens, us.
    It is estimated that they have been around for 2.3-2.4 million years,
    coinciding with the first evidence of stone tool usage.

    The first mammals are our most direct ancestors, evolved


    from Amniotes. One of the earliest known mammals was
    Eozostrodon lived about 210 million years ago.

    Studies of fossils from the Devonian Period 416-359 MYA


    indicates that land plants had evolved features we recognized
    today, such as leaves, roots and secondary wood.

    Simple eukaryotes, but more advanced organisms, thought


    to developed 1.6 – 2.1 billion years ago

    Oldest known fossilized prokaryotes have been dated


    approximately 3.5 billion years ago
    Around 1.1 billion years ago
    multicellular organisms are
    thought to have started to
    develop.

    Animals in the most basic


    sense of the word, have evolved
    from eukaryotes. Fossils of early
    sponges have been discovered in
    665 million years old rock.
    560 million years ago, some
    highly significant fossils of an
    organism which was named
    Charnia were discovered. These
    enigmatic early animals were
    anchored to the sea floor where
    they are thought to have
    absorbed nutrients.
    STROMATOLITES - A marine animal first evolved at the
    beginning of the Cambrian period, 542 MYA, where they
    dominated the ocean.

    HOMOERECTUS - Extinct species of the genus Homo from


    which the modern human has evolved from.

    PROKARYOTES - A basic cell type which lacks true nucleus.


    Bacteria, blue-green algae, archaeans and spirochetes are
    examples of organisms belonging to this cell type.
    EUKARYOTES
    This basic cell type possesses a true
    nucleus that contains DNA.

    DINOSAURS
    These are giant reptiles that
    roamed the earth during the
    Mesozoic era
    The researchers look for biomarkers specific to eukaryotes. It is a
    substance that occurs only or predominantly in cells of a specific
    type.

    The DNA is enclosed within the nucleus whereas DNA of most


    prokaryotes lies enclosed in the cell’s cytoplasm. The first
    eukaryotes were protists.
    The universe is about 4.6 billion years old. Life
    on earth, probably began only between 3.5 and
    4.0 billion years ago. Evidences from fossil
    records show the emergence of the different
    life forms
