    Lesson 2 Timeline of Appearance of Life Forms

    Uploaded by

    Angelica Lozada
    The document outlines a timeline of the appearance of life forms on Earth from 4.6-3.8 billion years ago to 2 billion years ago. It describes how early evidence from zircon crystals and stromatolites containing prokaryotes showed that life began around 3.5 billion years ago with single-celled organisms. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria then emerged around 3 billion years ago, followed by the first eukaryotes and multicellular organisms approximately 2 billion years ago.

    Timeline of Appearance

    of Life Forms

    Evolving Concept of Life


    Based on Emerging
    Pieces of Evidence
    Lesson Objectives
    At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
    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; and
    3. recognize the importance of knowing the history of life on
    earth.
    Have you been curious
    of when and where did
    life possibly start on
    Earth?
    During the 1800s,
    geologists and the
    naturalists found several
    forms of physical evidence
    that confirmed that Earth is
    very old.
    Timeline of
    Appearance of
    Life Forms
    4.6 – 3.8 Billion Years Ago

    The early earth is said


    to be violent because of
    the meteorites and
    volcanic eruptions.
    With this condition,
    zircon crystal was
    formed.
    Zircon Crystal
    Zircon Crystal
    The mineral zircon
    forms when the elements
    zirconium, silicon and
    oxygen crystallize in
    magma or metamorphic
    rock. Over time, repeated
    heating and cooling adds
    outer layers to the crystal,
    like successive coats of
    paint.
    3.5 Billion Years Ago
    Life on Earth initially
    began with
    prokaryotes,
    discovered in
    sedimentary rock
    formations called
    stromatolites.
    Prokaryotes in Stromatolites
    3.0 Billion Years Ago

    The first
    photosynthetic
    organism thrived the
    earth which is blue
    green algae called
    cyanobacteria.
    2.0 Billion Years Ago

    Appearance of the first


    eukaryotes and the influx
    of multicellular organisms
    occurred 1.2 billion
    years ago.
