Product Description
Life on Earth originated approximately 3,700 to 3,800 million years ago. Early life-forms were simple, single-celled organisms (bacteria) that thrived alone and in communities for more than 3,000 million years. About 700 million years ago, the first milticelled organisms appeared. Multicelled orgamisms were the pretext for the rapid evolution of complex life-forms that oocurred between 500 and 600 million years ago during the Cambrian period of geologic time. From this period to the present, life-forms diversified into many millions of species of animals and plants.
