  1. Do Now 5.2 Objectives: Identify and describe the four geological eons of Earth’s history. Identify 12 major events in the history of Earth, and their approximate time. Task (Answer, don’t copy): What structures in kidneys are responsible for excretion? What is the path of blood flow through the mammalian heart chambers?

  2. A Brief History of Earth 1. If you were to make a timeline showing the major events in the history of Earth, what are the top 3 things you would include?

  3. The History of Earth in 12 steps • Required knowledge: • Order (not dates) of 12 events (except below) • What happened for each event • Relative orders of time • BYA vs MYA • Eons of Geological Time • Precambrian (formation of Earth 4.5 BYA to Cambrian Explosion 543 MYA) • Paleozoic (Cambrian Explosion to Permian Extinction 250 MYA) • Mesozoic (Permian Extinction to K-T Extinction 65 MYA) • Cenozoic (65 MYA to present)

  4. The Big Bang 13.7 BYA • The beginning of matter, energy, and time. box 1.

  5. Best Evidence For BBT • Expanding Universe (comological redshifting) • Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation New Discovery 2014: Gravity Waves

  6. Formation of Sol, our Sun: 4.6 BYA • The light and heat it produces are a result of nuclear fusion. This occurs because of the massive gravity of such a large object. Box 2

  7. Formation of Earth And Moon: 4.5 BYA Rocks, dust, and meteorites were pulled together by gravity to form Earth. The moon was formed by a massive collision during this period also. Box 3

  8. The oldest rocks scientists have ever found are about 4.0 billion years old, but we think Earth was around even before that. Why aren’t there any rocks left from 4.5 to 4.0 billion years ago?

  9. Here’s the Plan

  10. Tenacious DNA • An epic look at the history of the DNA in each of your cells…

  11. Pre-Cambrian Earth • The Precambrian Eon begins with the formation of the solar system about 4,500 MYA (= 4.5 BYA). • The Pre-Cambrian is incomprehensibly long: it is 86% of Earth’s history. • Rocks form: 4,000 MYA • Abiogenesis (life “evolves”): 3,800 MYA • Eukaryotes evolve (endosymbiosis): 2,700 MYA • The Precambrian Eon lasts until 543 MYA, with an event commonly called the Cambrian Explosion

  12. 4.The Origin of Life on Earth:Abiogenesis

  13. Evidence for a Common Origin • DNA and RNA are the 'universal' basis for all life on Earth: all cells use RNA to make proteins. • Only 20 amino acids are used in all living things on Earth. L-amino acids exclusively are used in all living things on Earth. • ATP is the 'universal' energy used in all living cells. • Fermentation (glycolysis) is the first step in ALL metabolism. • The genetic code is almost identical in organisms as different as bacteria and humans

  14. The First Cells 3.8 BYA = Box 4 • The very first cells were heterotrophs, and soon used up all of the organic chemicals around them. • The only way life could continue is if cells started to make their own chemical “food.”

  15. Most Similar to The First Life:Archaea, a group of prokaryotes

  16. Endosymbiosis: origin of Eukaryotes 2.7 BYA Box 5

  17. Later Pre-Cambrian Life • Prokaryotes are the only life on Earth for over a billion years. • By the end of the Precambrian Eon, some simple animals (sponges, flatworms, roundworms, cnidarians) had evolved. • A mass extinction occurs (Vendian) 543 MYA, officially ending the Precambrian Eon

  18. Cambrian Explosion (6th box) 540 MYA • The Cambrian Explosion (or Cambrian diversification; 540 MYA) was a brief period in history where many new types of organisms evolve: • Arthropods • Chordates • Hard-Shelled animals • No major animal phyla have evolved since the Cambrian Explosion… why?

  19. Later in the Paleozoic • Land Plants and Fishes Evolve: 480 MYA • Reptiles Evolve: 350 MYA • These are boxes 7 and 8…

  20. End of the Paleozoic: the Permian Extinction (Box 9) • “The mother of all extinctions.” • Somewhere between 70 and 95% of all organisms become extinct 250 MYA. • Worst mass extinction ever recorded on Earth. Competing hypotheses over cause.

  21. Mesozoic Eon = “Age of the Dinosaurs” 248 – 65 MYA • Dinosaurs and Mammals Evolve: 220 MYA ( add after box 9) Cretaceous Jurassic Triassic

  22. Birds – Branch of the Dino Family Tree • Birds evolve 150 MYA (Box 10)

  23. Cenozoic Eon: 64 MYA to Today • You are living in the Cenozoic Eon, the “Age of Mammals.” • Begins with the K-T (aka K-Pg) extinction 65 million years ago (meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs) Box 10 • Box 11: Humans diverge from ape populations 6 MYA.

  24. Homo sapiens Box 12 • About 200,000 years ago, the first members of our species evolve, from other archaic Homo species (H. erectus) • By 50,000 years ago, humans are culturally and intellectually modern (i.e. cave paintings

  25. Top 13 1. Big Bang 13.7 BYA 2. Solar System 4.6 BYA • Formation of Earth & Moon 4.5 BYA 4. First Cells 3.8 BYA 5. Endosymbiosis 2.7 BYA 6. Cambrian Explosion 543 MYA 7. Land Plants & Fishes 480 MYA 8. Reptiles 350 MYA 9. Permian Extinction 250 MYA Largest mass extinction in Earth’s history (9B: Dinos & Mammals 220 MYA) 10. Birds 150 MYA 11. K-T Extinction 65 MYA (asteroid kills dinos) 12. Hominids diverge from apes 6 MYA 13. Homo sapiens evolve 0.2 MYA
