  • (5 BYA).The Alpha of the Alpha

    (5 BYA).The Alpha of the Alpha
    Sun was formed and dust was surrounding the sun, creating a simple solar system
  • (4.6 BYA) Our Broken Home

    (4.6 BYA) Our Broken Home
    Eath was formed from from the collosion of rocks and dust particles
  • (4 BYA) The calm after the storm

    (4 BYA) The calm after the storm
    Space collosions cease and the Earth cools down.
  • (3.5 BYA) The First births

    (3.5 BYA) The First births
    First cellular life formed, Archeabacteria
  • (.5 BYA) The Structures for life

    (.5 BYA) The Structures for life
    The gases of earth combined with the electrical charge of lightning create first nucleotides, ATP, and amino acids
  • (5BYA) First Complexity

    (5BYA) First Complexity
    First Stromatolites populate the earth
  • (3 BYA) Using the Power Of the Sun

     (3 BYA) Using the Power Of the Sun
    The first photosynthetic Organisms formed
  • (2.2 BYA) The Final Product

    (2.2 BYA) The Final Product
    The Earth was finally shaped as it is today
  • (2 BYA) Maintained Cabin Pressure

    (2 BYA) Maintained Cabin Pressure
    Earths O2 levels reached what they are today.
  • (2-1.5BYA) Mobile Hotel

    (2-1.5BYA) Mobile Hotel
    The first endosymbiosis occured. A prokaryote was consumed by eurokaryote and formed a symbiotic relationship
  • (1 BYA) Forward Deflector Sheilds To Full Power

    (1 BYA) Forward Deflector Sheilds To Full Power
    Ozone (O3) formed, protecting organisms from UV rays so they could exist on land.
  • (1600-1700) Spontanious generation Theroy

    (1600-1700) Spontanious generation Theroy
    Francesco Redi wanted to test the theroy of spontanious generation, so he allowed flies onto a piece of rotten meat, and put it in a sealed container. He also put a piece of rotton meat that flies had not been put on into a sealed container. The meat without flies generated no maggots, but the container with flies generated maggots
  • (1700-1800) Vital Force in Eviroment Theroy

    (1700-1800) Vital Force in Eviroment Theroy
    Spallanzani wanted to test the theroy of vital force in the enviroment, so he boiled two flasks with chicken broth, and sealed one of them. The unsealed flask developed microorganisms, but the sealed flasks developed no microorganisms.
  • (1800-1900) Vital Force in Air Theroy

    (1800-1900) Vital Force in Air Theroy
    Louis Pasteur wanted to test the tesroy of vital force in the air, so he used a curved-neck flask and left it unsealed with chick broth in it. This allowed air to flow through the flask, but microorganisms were trapped in the curve of the bottle. It developed no microorganisms, proving there is no vital force in the air.
  • (1920) Oparin's Hypothesis

    (1920) Oparin's Hypothesis
    Oparin hypothesised that organic materials could have formed in the early earths atmosphere from the various gasses and conditions
  • (1900's) Radiometric Dating

    (1900's) Radiometric Dating
    Radiometric dating is developed. This uses the natural decay of carbon-14 and carbon 12, and uses their known half-life to generate a date of how old the specimim is
  • (1953) Urey and Miller's Test

    (1953) Urey and Miller's Test
    Urey and Miller tested Oparin's hypothesis on organic materials bbeing generated in earth's early enviroment, and sucessfully generated amino acids, nucleotides, and ATP, the neccessities for life.
  • (!900's) Fox's Findings

    (!900's) Fox's Findings
    Sidney W. Fox studied many physical structures that may have been first cells.
  • (1970) Organics from Beyond

    (1970) Organics from Beyond
    In 1970, a meteorite crashed to earth, containing a broad mixture of organic compounds, creating contreversy of organics being delivered to earth via meteorites.
  • (1938) Marigulis's proposal

    (1938) Marigulis's proposal
    Marigulis proposed the theroy of endosymbiosis, in which a prokaryote was consumed by eukaryote and continued to function in a symbiotic relationship
