Historical Development of
the Concepts of Life
1. Identify the sequence of events of the history
of life on earth;
2. Name the pieces of evidence on the evolution
of life on earth;
3. Recognize the importance of knowing the
history of life on earth
WHAT IS TIMELINE?
WHAT IS TIMELINE
SIGNIFICANT?
Activity : Timeline of Events Read and
analyze the timeline. Arrange the
following pictures in order. Write
number 1 to 6 under each picture to
show the order of the appearance of
life forms on earth.
Each picture to show the order of the appearance
of life forms on earth.
This are the events that occurred on geologic time scale that enables
the paleontologist to sequence the history of life
1.Hadean( Early Earth Development)
2.Archean (Period or Appearance of first prokaryotes)
3.Proterozoic Eon (Period of appearance of the first eukaryote)
4.Cenozoic era (Recent Life)
5.Mesozoic era (Dominance of dinosaurs)
6.Paleozoic era (Dominance of appearance of trilobites)
Zircon Crystal
Hadean( Early Earth Development)
The Formation of Earth (4.6 to 3.8 billion years ago)
STROMATOLITES
are layered sedimentary formations (microbialite) that are created mainly by photosynthetic microorganisms such as cyanobacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria, and
Pseudomonadota (formerly proteobacteria).
Archean (Period or Appearance of first prokaryotes ) 3.5 BYA
BIOMARKERS
a biomarker, or biological marker, is a measurable indicator of some biological state or condition. Biomarkers are often
measured and evaluated using blood, urine, or soft tissues[1] to examine normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or
pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention
PROTEROZOIC EON-PERIOD OF APPEARANCE OF THE FIRST EUKARYOTE
TRILOBITES FOSSILS-Class of arthropods
PALEOZOIC ERA(DOMINANCE OF APPEARANCE OF TRILOBITES-
when the trilobites and cephalopods became dominant in the ocean particularly during the Cambrian and Ordovician
The Cambrian–Ordovician extinction event, also known as the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary event,
[1]
was an extinction event that occurred approximately 485 million years ago (mya) in the Paleozoic
era of the early Phanerozoic eon.[
DINOSAURS FOSSILS-are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic
period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago (mya), although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is a subject of active
MESOZIC ERA (DOMINANCE OF DINOSAURS)- the age of reptiles that has a span of 251 to
65.5 MYA divided into Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous
Homo erectus
(/ˌhoʊmoʊ əˈrɛktəs/ lit. 'upright man') is an extinct species of archaic human from the Pleistocene, with its earliest occurrence about 2 million years ago. Its
[2]
specimens are among the first recognizable members of the genus Homo.
CENOZOIC ERA(RECENT LIFE)-recent life and based on paleontological evidence.
Paleontological evidence refers to any evidence derived from the study of ancient life
