    Adam and Eve

    Adam and Eve
    We all know the story of God making an image of Himself. Then a lady friend. My question is; when did he make the horses?!
  • 555 BCE

    Harnessing of FIRE

    Harnessing of FIRE
    Where would technology be without fire? It was one of the first elements to be used for human benefit. Setting the trend of our society today.
  • 425 BCE

    Democritus

    Democritus
    He developed the concept of the atom. Using the Greek word for "invisable".
  • 335 BCE

    Aristotle

    Aristotle
    He proclaimed that the atom didn't make up the universe. Instead all substances were made of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air.
  • 36 BCE

    Asia to Americas Landbridge

    Asia to Americas Landbridge
    When the land bridge was formed all land dwelling creatures crossed into a new land. Forming our contient's life forms today. This also effects the other countries due to how the countries of Americas have impacted the rest of the world.

    Dogs Being Domesticated

    Dogs Being Domesticated
    As the link points out this may have happened more than once. My point is that humans made this effort multiple times. It proves a craving among all people for a companion like a dog. Now, many homes have pets or work with animals in some way. It is a universal habit, and I find my dog more satisfying socially than everyone at G-R. No offense. SKIP 15 SECONDS INTO VIDEO. Demonstrating the emotion of 'those are the most adorable beings on this planet'

    European Renaissance

    European Renaissance
    In this time the world lost much of its knowledge and went backward in evolution

  • Antonie Lavosier

    Antonie Lavosier
    Named oxygen.

  • Joseph Proust

    Joseph Proust
    Prosed the Law of Constant Combustion.

  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    Preposed the Law of Multiple Proportions. This lead him to prepose the Atom Theory, which was later added onto by lots and lots of people.

  • Amadeo Avagadro

    Amadeo Avagadro
    Prosed Avagadro's hypothesis. Which states that at the same pressure and temperature, equal volumes of gases have the same number of molecules or atoms.

  • Wiliam Crookes

    Wiliam Crookes
    He discovered cathode (negatively charged electrode where electrons enter an electrical device) rays.

  • Henri Becquerel

    Henri Becquerel
    Discovered radioactivity

  • J.J. Thomson

    J.J. Thomson
    He discovered the mass ratio of an electron. And studying a "canal ray" which were found to be affiliated with proton H +

  • Madame Curie

    Madame Curie
    Discovered radioactive elements polonium and radium.

  • Max Planck

    Max Planck
    Using the idea of quanta (discrete units of energy) to explain hot matter.

  • Albert Einstein

    Albert Einstein
    Theory of Relativity.

  • Robert Millikan

    Robert Millikan
    Produced the "oil drop experiment" which measured an electron's charge. (Step by step break down of the experiment can be found in the resource).

  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    He discovered that the nucleus is in the center of the atom and is positively charged. By way of using alpha particles as atom bullets, and then probing them with a thin piece of gold.

  • Niels Bohr

    Niels Bohr
    Created the human prospect for the explanation of atomic structure that is the base line for the regulation for periodic table.

  • Werner Heisenberg

    Werner Heisenberg
    Contributed the the atom theory by studying quantum mechanics how elementary particles behave.

  • Erwin Schrodinger

    Erwin Schrodinger
    Using math equations he could describe the probability of finding an electron in a certain position.

  • Louis deBroglie

    Louis deBroglie
    Researching the quantum theory and discovering the wave length of electrons.

  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    He discovered the neutron: using alpha particles and found something new; a neutral particle with a mass similar to a proton.

  • Henry Moseley

    Henry Moseley
    Discovered close atomic mass. By way of a specter X-ray, which helped the elements become more organized on the periodic table.

  • Acid Rain Recognized as BAD

    Acid Rain Recognized as BAD
    Acid rain caused by people was discovered to cause damage to trees and ecosystems. If this problem goes unresolved, the world's ecosystems could take heavy losses. https://www.britannica.com/science/acid-rain/images-videos
    First video as you scroll down - labeled Acid Rain (1:08)

  • Invention of the cell phone

    Invention of the cell phone
    Martin Cooper brought along this phenomenon. Now there are few in the world with the means to own a cell phone who do not. Cell phones are clung to by adults, like babies cling to pacifier.

  • Last known sighting of a Unicorn

    Last known sighting of a Unicorn
    Bolikhamxay villagers captured a Saola (Asian Unicorn). The animal subsequently died. A camera trap in 2013 spotted what is accused of being a Saola, however the body is all that is shown so the village is the last known sighting.

  • Tiger Population on a RISE

    Tiger Population on a RISE
    For the first time in 100 years tiger populations are increasing. This is a huge event for the world of preservation. Tigers being under attack from all angles (as their bones and other body parts are used in many ancient medicine) their population increase is astounding and encouraging. (WWF didn't have a video so I had to settle with CNN). http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/11/world/wild-tigers-rise-first-time-century-irpt/#
