    Appearance of the first life forms with microscopic size. They lived only in water and there was no life outside of it. Cyanobacteria (photosynthetic bacteria) appeared and then the first multicellular life forms. Que tipo de formas de vida

    They have eukaryotic cells (cells with nuclei), were invertebrates and were multicellular life forms. The main multi-cellular life forms were the stromatolites.

    Great explosion of life→ 21:10

    Great explosion of life→ 21:10
    This explosion of life gave way to a new era called "Paleozoic" and was caused by several reasons: The important climatic changes such as glaciations or low sea levels...

  • Period: 541 BCE to 252 BCE

    Paleozoic

    Guide Fossil: Triboleites
    Geologic event: Pangea formation
    Climate event: More glaciations and low sea levels
  • 480 BCE

    Age of the fish→ 21:37

    Age of the fish→ 21:37
    Fish developed, being the dominant fish of this era (Paleozoic). In the oceans, primitive sharks become more numerous and the first lobe-finned fish and bony fish appear.
  • 359 BCE

    First terrestrial plants (gymnosperms) → 21:48

    First terrestrial plants (gymnosperms) → 21:48
    There is a warm and humid climate that helps to advance the development of the great extensions of coastal marshlands and the irruption of the great forests of conifers and ferns.
    It is found in the Paleozoic era (Carboniferous).
  • 299 BCE

    Amphibian age → 22:13

    Amphibian age → 22:13
    Some of the features that allowed amphibians to emerge from the water were:
    - Evolution of the lungs
    - Development of the choanae
    - Appearance of a limb (the legs).
    Ichthyostegids were the first amphibians that were able to leave the water.
  • Period: 250 BCE to 66 BCE

    Mesozoic

    Guide Fossil: Amonites
    Geologic event: Pangea fragments
    Climate event: Dry and hot climate. No glaciation
  • 145 BCE

    Age of the reptiles → 22:43

    Age of the reptiles → 22:43
    Large reptiles colonise all environments, both terrestrial and aquatic. These reptiles are the main guiding fossils of this era. Approximately 70 million years later, these dominants of the earth became extinct and new colonisers appeared.
  • 100 BCE

    1st angiosperms→ 23:22

    1st angiosperms→ 23:22
    Plants undergo great diversification, especially conifers and angiosperms, which, unlike gymnosperms, have flowers and fruit. They first appeared about 125 m.y. ago and diversified rapidly about 100 m.y. ago. Deciduous angiosperms came to predominate in colder regions, while evergreen varieties prevailed in the subtropics and tropics.
  • Period: 66 BCE to 1 BCE

    Cenozoic

    Guide Fossil: Nummulites
    Geologic event: Formation of ice caps and development of the Alpine Orogeny
    Climate event: 4 glaciations alternating with warm periods
  • 23 BCE

    Age of the birds→ 23:39

    Age of the birds→ 23:39
    The first birds appeared 201 m.b.y. ago but diversified 23 m.y. ago. They developed from therapsids, a group of carnivorous dinosaurs. (In the picture you can see a huge bird of this era called Gastornis.)
  • 6 BCE

    1st hominids→ 23:53

    1st hominids→ 23:53
    They were primates adapted to life on land, walking upright in a bipedal posture. The term "hominid" refers to any being, present or past, that has been part of the human race.
    One of the first primates were the Sahelanthropus tchadensis or Orrorin tugenensis.
  • 2 BCE

    1st Homo sapiens→ 23:59 h

    1st Homo sapiens→ 23:59 h
    The Quaternary begins with the appearance of Homo sapiens 2m.y. ago. Their oldest remains are 195,000 years old and were found in Ethiopia. The first homosapiens, in terms of physical characteristics, resemble today's people.
