  1. KEY CONCEPT Multicellular life evolved in distinct phases.

  2. Life moved onto land during the Paleozoic Era. • Multicellular organisms first appeared during the Paleozoic era. • The era began 544 million years ago and ended 248 million years ago. • The Cambrian explosion led to a huge diversity of animal species.

  3. Life moved onto land in the middle of the Paleozoic era.

  4. Reptiles radiated during the Mesozoic era. • The Mesozoic era is known as the Age of Reptiles. • It began 248 million years ago and ended 65 million years ago. • Dinosaurs, birds, flowering plants, and first mammals appeared.

  5. Mammals radiated during the Cenozoic era. • The Cenozoic era began 65 million years ago and continues today. • Placental mammals and monotremes evolved and diversified. • Anatomically modern humans appeared late in the era.
