What about this right handed/left handed molecule disparity? They furthermore think the rate of evolution of new species correlates to the rate of impacts from meteorites. WOW. Below is the chart of some of the events that have taken place to make it possible that I can exist. You know, that extensive breeding program that culminates in ME.
| Years before Present |
Event |
| 16 - 13.7 billion |
Big Bang Theory, begining of Universe |
| 13 billion |
Formation of huge, fast burning stars. They manufacture all elements up to iron, in their normal process. When they collapse and explode, even heavier elements are formed and spread through out the early universe. All future construction will be from the seeds of these first stars. We are made from this material, as is everything in the entire universe. |
| 4.7 billion |
Formation of Milky Way Galxay and our Solar System |
| 4 - 3 billion |
Formation of amino acids, bacteria, finally algae. This is the start of DNA |
| 1.5 billion |
Eukaryotes that became mitochondrial DNA first imported into cells, started as symbiotic relationship |
| 700 million |
"Snowball Earth" Ice Age, kills most life virtually encases the entire planet in ice.
| 65 million |
Meteorite impact changes atmosphere, kills dinosaurs |
|
| 2.4 million |
Homo habilis, uses crude stone tools. |
| 2 to 1.8 million |
Homo erectus. |
| 1.7 million |
Series of climate changes that inevitably lead to ice ages. These ice ages create hardships for early man, that increases his thinking ability. Some Homo erectus leave Africa. |
| 1.5 million |
Acheulian tool making, this culture is spread from Africa to Southern Europe and South East Asia. There are 800,000 year old hand axes, of this classification, in China. Also use of fire in Kenya. |
| 1 million |
Early man may have used simple language. |
| 500,000 |
Homo erectus' brain case has grown 25% during his tenure. He starts to use fire, and has spread from Africa to Europe, Asia and China. |
| 400,000 |
Homo sapiens archaic appear. |
| 250,000 - 28,000 |
Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis appears. DNA shows some have red hair, green eyes, and pale skin. They also have the genes that allow us to enunciate? They shared locales with modern humans for thousands of years. Neanderthal survived for 200,000 years while modern humans have only been around for 100,000 years so far. |
| 190,000 - 130,000 |
Possible drought in Africa that may have caused a bottleneck of humanity. |
| 90,000 - 50,000 |
Homo sapiens appear, in the area of the Great African Rift. This southwestern area of Africa is full of fossil remains. |
| 70,000 |
Mount Toba in Sumatra erupts, climatic change leads to 1,000 years of possibly the coldest ice age, average temprature was 9°C lower than modern times. Another possible bottleneck, roughly 15,000 humans survived, mostly in equatorial Africa. |
| 60,000 |
10,000 Homo sapiens live in southern Africa. |
| 50,000 |
Enviromental changes cause early humans leave Africa. They migrate up the coast eventually arriving in India and Austrailia. The first recognizable abstract thinking appears. Tools with discernable functions, art, organization, jewelry, and burial are the examples sited. My question is- how did this spread across the entire globe in just a few thousand years. People had spread from Africa to Austrialia and from Spain to Japan. Did these early people communicate and travel back and forth enough to spread this new Human intelligence? Or did it appear universally in multiple areas? |
| 40,000 |
Cro-Magnon man appears. 50,000 year line also attributed to Cro-Magnon man. |
| 35,000 |
A second migration from Africa. These people go to Asia, there they split and one branch goes to East Asia and another goes toward Europe. |
| 34,000-23,000 |
Aurignacian Culture in Europe, thought to be Haplogroup R. |
| 30,000 |
Neanderthals close to extinction. |
| 28,000 23,000 |
Gravettian Culture thought to be Haplogroup I. They made Venus figurines, and mammoth bone structures. Possibly displaced, or assimilated, some Haplogroup R peoples from the Aurignacion Culture, see above. |
| 24,000 |
The last Ice Age was just starting. It will continue for about 6,000 years. |
| 20,000 |
Humans are in Greece. |
| 15,000 |
Humans have crossed the Bering Straits into America. |
| 11,000BC-8400BC |
Ahrensburg Culture, northern Germany. Mesolithic Hunter/Gatherer groups. 6-8 people lived in Segebro, near Malmo, the Southern tip of Sweden. |
| 10,000 |
Radiocarbon dating of early South American habitation sites. |
| 7000BC |
Maglemosian in Sweden and Fosna-Hensbaka in Norway. Mesolithic fisheries |
| 6000BC |
Kongemose in Southern Scandinavian Territory, Nostvet and Liholt in North. England and Europe are still connected by a land bridge. Rising sea levels will cover the bridge in the next few generations. |
| 5500BC |
Northern Africa dries out. Saraha desert starts to form. |
| 5000BC |
Ertebolle Culture |
| 4000BC |
Funnel/Beaker people, pushed north into Sweden and Uppland |
| 4000BC |
Nostvet-Liholt become Pitted Ware people. Agriculture, Livestock |
| 3000BC, or 5000BP |
Battle Axe Culture, thought to be the first Germanic Peoples. Norte Chico civilization starts in South America. The main site is 200 acres, with 18 outlying site some as large as 60 acres. Also known as Caral-Supe it is located in coastal Peru. Before it collapse in 1800BC, the Norte Chico civilization's influence exceeded 700 square miles |
| 1800BC - 500BC |
Bronze age in Norway |
| 500BC - 400AD |
Early or Roman Iron Age |
| 98AD - 555AD |
Sami or Finns reside in the area that is now Northern Sweden and Finland, domesticated Reindeer c 500AD. Sami are 40% haplo I |
| 550AD - 800AD |
Vendels in Southern Sweden |
| 687AD |
Vikings destroy Monastery at Whitbey, England. |
| 793AD |
Lindesfarne Monastery sacked. |
| 1814AD |
Norwegian Independance from Sweden |
