3) All matter is made of particles of light.10 Light particles are the base
unit of all matter from the tiniest particles to the largest galaxies.11 In
this sense light particles are the most basic atoms.12

The basic order of matter from smaller to larger is light particles, electrons
and positrons, muons, protons and antiprotons, atoms, molecules, living
objects, planets, stars, globular clusters, galaxies, and then galactic
clusters.13

6) Light particles become trapped with each other and so form structures such
as protons, atoms, molecules, planets, stars, galaxies, and clusters of
galaxies.6

This accumulation of light particles into atoms may be the result of particle
collision, gravitation, or a combination of both.7

7) All of the billions of galaxies we see are only a tiny part of the universe.
We will never see most of the universe because no light particles from there
can ever reach us.6

Most galaxies are too far away for even one particle of light they emit to be
going in the exact direction of our tiny location, and all the light particles
they emit are captured by atoms in between there and here.7

As telescopes grow larger, the number of galaxies and the distance we can see
will increase.8

4) There is a pattern in the universe. Light particles move from highly dense
volumes of space to volumes of less density. In low density volumes, light
particles slowly accumulate to form atoms of Hydrogen and Helium which exist as
gas clouds (like the Magellanic Clouds or Orion nebula). These gas clouds,
called nebulae continue to accumulate trapped light particles. At points of
high density planets and stars form and the cloud is eventually dense enough to
become a galaxy of stars. The stars emit light particles back out to the rest
of the universe, where the light again becomes trapped and forms new clouds.
Around each star are many planets and pieces of matter. On many of the planets
rotating around stars, living objects evolve that can copy themselves by
converting matter around them into more of them. Living objects need matter to
replace matter lost from the constant emitting of light particles (decay). Like
bacteria, these living objects grow in number, with the most successful
organisms occupying and moving around many stars. These advanced organisms then
move the groups of stars they control, as a globular cluster, away from the
plane of the spiral galaxy. As time continues, all of the stars of a galaxy are
occupied by living objects who have organized their stars into globular
clusters. These globular clusters together form an elliptical galaxy, and then
finally a globular galaxy. The globular galaxy may then exist for a long time
living off the matter in stars, in addition to matter from external sources.


So free light particles are trapped into volumes of space that grow in density
first forming atoms, then gas clouds, then stars, a spiral galaxy, an
elliptical galaxy, and finally a globular galaxy.5

Globular galaxies at our scale may be light particles at a much larger scale,
just as light particles at our scale may be globular galaxies at a much smaller
scale. This system may go on infinitely in both larger and smaller scale.

8) An expanding universe seems unlikely to me. The supposed red-shifted calcium
absorption lines may be a mistaken observation, for one reason because spectrum
size changes the position of spectral lines (as clearly shown in the 1936
Humason photo)5 , and because the distance of a light source changes the
position, but not the frequency of spectral lines6 .

13) The Milky Way Nebula starts to form.5

Galaxies may form from accumulation of light particles and from the collision
of two or more galaxies.

If a galaxy is viewed as an exponential accumulation of light particles
starting from a single light particle up until 500 billion stars, only in the
last 16% of that time would a galaxy have enough matter for even a single
star.6

6180) The first star in the Milky Way Galaxy forms.8

Stars may form from the accumulation of matter or from collisions of two or
more large bodies. As time goes by, less collisions occur around a star,
because most smaller objects are absorbed by the star and planets.9

Stars and planets may have centers of densely packed unmoving light particles.
The less dense and colder area near the surface of planets and stars may allow
atoms and molecules to form and stay together. Many light particles must move
through the internal maze of matter inside planets and stars to eventually
reach the surface and escape into empty space.10

17) Planets form around our star from many collisions. Like the star, they are
red hot with liquid rock and metals on the surface. Lighter atoms move to the
surface of the planets. Larger planets are surrounded by gas.6

As the number of collisions decreases, and smaller objects are absorbed by the
star and planets, the average temperature of the star system is lowered. As the
temperature of the planets and moons decreases, their surfaces solidify, and
water and other molecules condense at the surface.7

Perhaps most outer planets are larger, because their orbit covers a larger
space which includes more matter.8

of the collision, or forms in orbit of the Earth at the same time the Earth

18) Larger molecules form on Earth, like amino acids, phosphates, and sugars,
the components of living objects.10

These molecules are made in the oceans, fresh water, and atmosphere of Earth
(and other planets) by lightning, light particles with high frequency from the
Sun, and from ocean floor volcanoes.11

The initial building blocks of living objects are easily formed, but assembling
them into longer-chain molecules, or polymers, is more difficult. Amino acids
link up to form polymers called proteins, simple fatty acids plus alcohols link
up to form lipids (oils and fats), simple sugars like glucose and sucrose link
together to form complex carbohydrates and starches, and finally, the
nucleotide bases (plus phosphates and sugars) link up to form nucleic acids,
the genetic code of organisms, known as RNA and DNA.12

Perhaps all proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and DNA are strictly the products
of living objects, while RNA can assemble without the help of any living
objects.13

link amimo acids into proteins using other RNA molecules ("messenger" or mRNA
molecules), as a template.

This protein assembly system is the main system responsible for all the
proteins on Earth.6

Part of each tRNA molecule bonds with a specific amino acid, while another part
has a 3 nucleotide sequence that bonds with an opposite matching 3 nucleotide
sequence on an mRNA molecule.7

Perhaps this system, where tRNA molecules build proteins directly from free
floating RNA strands, evolves before the first ribosome and the first cell.8

40) A protein can copy RNA. This protein is called an RNA polymerase
{PoL-u-mu-rAS5 }.

For the first time, a nucleic acid functions both as a template for building
proteins (with the help of tRNA molecules) and also as a template for building
other nucleic acid molecules.6

An RNA polymerase must be one of the first useful proteins to be assembled by
the early (presumably) precellular protein production system. Eventually an RNA
strand that codes for the RNA polymerase and the tRNA needed to make the
polymerase may be copied many times.

The ribosome may function as a protocell, providing a platform for more
efficient protein production. A single RNA may contain all the instructions
needed to make more polymerase, tRNA, and ribosomes. Alternatively the first
ribosome may not evolve until after the first cell.

All cells contain ribosomes.4 Ribosomes are the cellular organelles that carry
out protein synthesis, through a process called translation. These molecular
machines are responsible for accurately translating the linear genetic code on
the messenger RNA (mRNA), into a linear sequence of amino acids to produce a
protein.5

6409) Transcription evolves. A protein (an RNA polymerase) assembles RNA from
DNA.

  
4,355,000,000 YBN
20) The first cell on Earth evolves. This is the first prokaryotic cell and
first bacterium. DNA is surrounded by a membrane of proteins made by ribosomes;
the first cytoplasm.15

This cell may form in either fresh or salt water, near the sunlit water surface
or near underwater volcanoes on the ocean floor.16

The DNA of this cell is a template containing the code for a copying molecule
(DNA polymerase {PoL-u-mu-rAS17 }), and the necessary mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA
molecules needed to build the cytoplasm. For the first time, ribosomes and DNA
build cell structure. DNA protected by cytoplasm is more likely to survive and
be copied.18

This is the start of binary cell division. DNA polymerase duplicates DNA within
the cell and then the cell divides into two parts.19 A system of division may
evolve in which the original and the newly synthesized copy of DNA are each
attached to the cytoplasm, so that as the cell grows, the two copies of DNA can
be separated, and the growing mass can eventually divide into two cells.20

This is also the start of passive transport. Amino acids, nucleotides, water,
and other molecules enter and exit the cytoplasm only because of a difference
in concentration from inside and outside the cell. This represents the
beginnings of the first digestive system.

This cell structure forms the basis of all future cells of every living object
on Earth. These first cells are probably anaerobic (or anoxygenic- do not
require free oxygen) and are heterotrophic, meaning that they do not make their
own food (amino acids, nucleotides, phosphates, and sugars) but instead depend
on obtaining these molecules from external sources.21

27) A phospholipid bilayer evolves around the cell, providing added protection
from the external environment.4 All extant cells have this phospholipid
bilayer.5

When phospholipids are added to water, they self-assemble into double-layered
aggregates, or bilayers, with the phosphate part of the molecule on the outside
and the fatty acid tail part on the inside.6 7

26) Possibly DNA that is connected in a circle allows the DNA polymerase to
make continuous copies of the cell, which may increase the speed of cell
growth, duplication, and division.1

As far as is known bacteria do not die of old age, but if a mutation stops them
from dividing, then they die. Bacteria can also die from physical destruction
in addition to lack of food and water.2

64) Operons evolve. An operon is a sequence of DNA which a protein binds with
in order to block RNA polymerase from building an mRNA molecule, from part of
the sequence, which would be translated into a protein. Operons allow a
bacterium to produce certain proteins only when necessary. Bacteria before now
can only build a constant stream of all proteins encoded in their DNA.7 8 9

28) Cellular respiration. Glycolysis evolves in the cytoplasm. Cells can now
make ATP (adenosine {oDeNoSEN8 } triphosphate) by converting glucose into
pyruvate {PIrUVAT9 }. This is the beginning of cellular respiration, how cells
convert food into ATP and waste products.10

ATP is the molecule that drives most cellular work.11

That glycolysis is the most widespread metabolic pathway, that it occurs in the
cytoplasm, not in an organelle, and that it is the first stage in fermentation
all imply an ancient origin.12

glycolysis, into lactate (an ionized form of lactic acid), and in the process
refuel glycolysis and the production of ATP molecules.5 6

181) The Archaea Phylum: Euryarchaeota {YRE-oR-KE-O-Tu14 } evolves (the
ancestor of methanogens and halobacteria {HaL-O-BaK-TER-E-u15 }).16 17

The earliest cell response to light.18

The Euryarchaeota {YRE-oR-KE-O-Tu19 } are composed of two classes: methanogens,
which produce methane and are often found in intestines and sewage, and the
halobacteria, which survive in high concentrations of salt.20

Some halobacteria use sensory rhodopsin {rO-DoP-SiN21 } (a pigment sensitive to
red light22 ) for phototaxis (positive or negative movement along a light
gradient or vector).23

58) The first autotrophic cells; cells that can produce some of their own
food.5

Autotrophs produce their own sugars, lipids, and amino acids.6

There are only two kinds of autotrophs: chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs.7

Chemoautotrophs use chemical nutrients to synthesize carbohydrates, while
photoautotrophs use light to synthesize carbohydrates.8 9

This is a chemoautotrophic cell: genes and metabolic sequences suggest that
chemoautotrophs evolve before photoautotrophs.10

49) Photosynthesis evolves.12

Anaerobic bacteria use light particles to convert carbon dioxide gas and an
electron donor13 (also called a reductant) like Hydrogen sulfide into glucose,
water, and sulfur.14 This process of moving carbon from carbon dioxide gas to
the hydrocarbon molecule glucose is called carbon fixation.15

This is the ancestor of Photosystem I.16

This system of photosynthesis does not liberate oxygen.17

bacteria grow in filaments. Cells stay fastened together after cell division.7


Multicellularity appears to have evolved independently multiple times in the
history of life on Earth.8 9

With multicellularity comes the evolution of differentiation, cells with
different functions.10

316) Cell differentiation evolves in filamentous prokaryotes, creating
organisms with different kinds of cells.4

One early cell differentiation is that only the cell at the tip of the filament
can divide while the older cells below the tip do not divide.5

Multicellular organisms can die from aging, a series of cell differentiations
that ultimately result in the inability for the multicellular body to continue
functioning and to decay.6

57) Aerobic cellular respiration evolves. The first aerobic (or "oxygenic")
cell. These cells use oxygen to convert glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and
ATP.5

Aerobic cellular respiration evolves as an alternative to fermentation by using
oxygen to break down the product of glycolysis, pyruvate, into carbon dioxide
and water, producing up to 38 ATP molecules in the process.6

in grains of ancient apetite {aPeTIT16 } (which are calcium phosphate
minerals).17 18 19

Life uses the lighter Carbon-12 isotope and so the ratio of carbon-12 to
carbon-13 is different from a nonliving source (such as calcium carbonate or
limestone).20 21

45) The oldest sediment, the Banded Iron Formation begins.17
Banded Iron
Formation is sedimentary rock that spans from 3.8 to 1.8 billion years ago,
made of iron-rich silicates (like silicon dioxide SiO2) with alternating layers
of black colored ferrous (reduced) iron and red colored ferric (oxidized)
iron.18 19 These alternating layers represent a seasonal cycle where the
quantity of free oxygen in the ocean rises and falls, possibly linked to
photosynthetic organisms.20 21

The atmosphere of Earth still has only small amounts of oxygen at this time.

71) The earliest fossil evidence of prokaryote reproduction by budding.4

Like binary division, budding is a form of asexual reproduction. However, with
budding a new individual develops from a certain point of the parent organism.
The new individual may separate to exist independently, or the buds may remain
attached, forming colonies.5

Acritarchs appear to be phytoplankton {FITO-PlaNK-TeN17 } (freely floating
microscopic algae18 19 ) that grow thick coverings during a resting stage in
their life cycle. Some resemble the resting stage of modern marine algae known
as dinoflagellates.20

178) The Eubacteria Phylum Firmicutes (FiRmiKYUTEZ14 ) evolves (Gram positive
bacteria: the cause of botulism, tetanus, and anthrax).15 16 17

Firmicutes is a phylum of nonphotosynthetic18 , mainly gram-positive bacteria.
Firmicutes and Bacteriodetes are the two main groups of bacteria found in the
intestine.19

Firmicutes includes rods and cocci {KoKSE20 } forms, and some form
endospores.21

An endospore is a tough reduced dry form of a bacterium, triggered by a lack of
nutrients, that protects the bacterium, and allows it to be revived after long
periods of time.22

177) Gender and sex (conjugation) evolve in Escherichia Coli {esRriKEo KOlI29 }
bacteria. Conjugation is the exchange of DNA (plasmids) by a donor {male}
bacterium through a pilus to a recipient {female} bacterium.30 31 32 33 34 35
This may be the process that evolves into eukaryote sexual reproduction.36

In addition to pili and conjugation, proteins that can cut DNA and other
proteins that can connect two strands of DNA evolve.37

known as Planctobacteria).8

Planctomycetes are a widely distributed group of eubacteria that reproduce by
budding, have cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan like most bacteria,
and some have a membrane-bound nucleoid, similar to the eukaryotic nucleus.9 10

60) The eukaryotic cell evolves. The first cell with a nucleus. The first
protist. The nucleus may develop from the infolding of plasma membrane.21

There are some differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:
In prokaryotic
cells the DNA is concentrated in a region that is not membrane enclosed called
the "nucleoid" while in eukaryotic cells most of the DNA is contained in a
nucleus that is bounded by a double membrane. Eukaryotic cells are generally
much larger than prokaryotic cells. Typical bacteria are between 1-5 um in
diameter, while eukaryotic cells are typically 10-100 um in diameter.22 Unlike
prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have a cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton
enables eukaryotic cells to change their shape and to surround and engulf other
cells. Eukaryotic cells also have internal structures that prokaryotic cells
lack such as mitochondria and plastids.23 DNA in prokaryotic cells is usually
in the form of a single circular chromosome, while DNA in the nucleus of
eukaryotes contains linear chromosomes. Some organelles in eukaryotes also
contain DNA; most mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA is also circular reflecting
their prokaryote origin.24

Like prokaryotes, this cell is probably haploid (has a single unique DNA), most
eukaryotes are diploid (having two sets of DNA).25 26 27 28

All protist, fungi, animal and plant cells descend from this common eukaryotic
cell.29

208) The eukaryote flagellum and cilia evolve.

The eukaryote flagellum and cilia are structurally the same5 but are very
different from the prokaryote flagellum. The eukaryote flagellum is composed of
a characteristic "9+2" arrangement of microtubules {mIKrO-TUB-YU-LZ6 }
surrounded by a sheath which is an extension of the plasma membrane.7 Unlike
the prokaryote flagella that rotate, the flagella and cilia of eukaryotic cells
undulate in a wave-like motion to propel the cell.8

Some cilia are nonmotile and serve as signal-receiving "antennae" for the
cell.9

The sperm cells of algae, animals, and some plants have flagella.10

that package and order a single continuous DNA molecule into structural units
called nucleosomes {nUKlEuSOMZ3 }.4 The nucleosomes are coiled into a 30

72) Mitosis evolves in Eukaryote cells.11 12

Mitosis is the process in eukaryotic cell division in which the duplicated
chromosomes are separated and the nucleus divides resulting in two new nuclei,
each of which contains an identical copy of the parental chromosomes. Mitosis
is usually immediately followed by cytokinesis, the division of the
cytoplasm.13 14

Mitosis is thought to have evolved from prokaryote binary fission and possible
intermediate stages can be seen in some protists.15

73) Eukaryote sex evolves. This is the first diploid cell and the first
zygote.29 30

Because of sex, two cells with different DNA can mix providing more genetic
variety. Having two chromosome sets also provides a backup copy of important
genes.31 32

Eukaryotic sexual reproduction, which is initially the fusion of two cells and
their nuclei, may first occur in a single cell protist that usually reproduces
asexually by mitosis.33 Two haploid eukaryote cells (gametes, cells with one
set of chromosomes each) merge and then their nuclei merge to form the first
diploid cell, a cell with two sets of chromosomes, the first zygote.34
"Syngamy" {SiNG-Gu-mE35 } refers to gamete fusion and "karyogamy"
{KaR-E-oG-e-mE36 } to nucleus fusion. In most cases syngamy is immediately
followed by karyogamy.37

This fusion of two haploid cells results in the first diploid single-celled
organism, which may then immediately divide back to two haploid cells.

Conjugation, the second major kind of sexual phenomenon, which occurs in the
ciliates, involves the fusion of gametic nuclei instead of independent gamete
cells.38

Initially sex may be the fusion of two indistinguishable cells (isogamy) with
gender (anisogamy) only evolving later.39 Although possibly eukaryote cell
fusion and gender is directly descended from prokaryote conjugation.40

All sexual species alternate between haploid and diploid. There are three main
different types of sexual life cycles; haplontic, haplodiplontic, and
diplontic.41 42
This begins the haplontic life cycle: in the entire life cycle
the only diploid cell is the zygote and mitosis only occurs in the haploid
phase43 .44 45

Most fungi and some protists including some algae are "haplontic"; they have a
multicellular haploid stage and no multicellular diploid stage. Plants and some
algae are "haplodiplontic"; they make both a multicellular haploid and
multicellular diploid organism. Animals are "diplontic"; they make a diploid
multicellular organism and no multicellular haploid organism.46 47

206) Meiosis evolves (one-step meiosis: a single cell division of a diploid
cell into two haploid cells).12 13

Meiosis, which looks similar to mitosis14 , is the process of cell division in
sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in
reproductive cells from diploid to haploid, leading to the production of
gametes in animals and spores in plants.15

Without the reduction back to haploid, genomes would double in size with every
generation.16

295) Two-step meiosis evolves (diploid DNA copies and then the cell divides
twice into four haploid cells).6

Most protists divide by two-step meiosis, and one-step meiosis is rare.7 8

Many of the steps of meiosis closely resemble corresponding steps in mitosis.
Meiosis, like mitosis, is preceded by the replication of chromosomes, but this
single replication is followed not by one but two consecutive cell divisions
which results in four child cells instead of the two child cells of mitosis.9

Mitosis produces child cells that are genetically identical to their parent
cells and each other, while meiosis produces cells that differ genetically from
their parent cell and from each other.10

Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes with oxygen-producing photosynthesis,12
and are the ancestor of all eukaryote plastids (for example chloroplasts).13 14


Fossil evidence suggests that cyanobacteria existed as early as 3.8 billion
years before now, but the genetic evidence places the origin of cyanobacteria
here at 2.5 billion years before now.15 16

63) A parasitic bacterium, closely related to Rickettsia prowazekii, an aerobic
proteobacteria, is engulfed by an early eukaryote cell and over time a
symbiotic relationship evolves within the eukaryote cell (an endosymbiosis)
where the Rickettsia becomes the mitochondria.

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of almost all
eukaryotic cells, and are where cellular respiration occurs producing most of
the ATP in a eukaryotic cell.7

In eukaryotes the mitochondria perform the Citric Acid Cycle and Oxidative
phosphorylation using oxygen to breakdown pyruvate from glycolysis into carbon
dioxide and water, and provide up to 36 ATP molecules.8

61) The earliest large filamentous fossil (Grypania).13 14 Grypania spiralis
is about 10 cm long, and is thought to be either a green alga or a large
cyanobacterium.15 16 If eukaryote, Grypania would be the earliest
non-acritarch eukaryote fossil.17 18 19

Grypania may be like Acetabularia {aS-i-TaB-YU-lAR-Eu20 }, a large
single-celled green algae.21
The Grypania fossils have no blade (analogous to a
leaf) or holdfast structures,22 but stretching implies that Grypania was a
sessile organism connected to a surface.23

body parts in algae, plants, fungi and animals.13 14 15 16

For example, when a homeobox gene responsible for growing a mouse eye is added
to the cell of a fruit-fly embryo that is destined to be a leg, an extra fruit
fly eye is built on the leg.17 18

The Amoebozoa include amoebas, both naked and testate (partially enclosed by a
"test" or shell14 ), and slime molds15 and are characterized by pseudopods.16
Slime molds will diverge into two main branches, plasmodial slime molds and
cellular slime molds.17

Eukaryotes.

Many cells that form colonies are apparently identical but because each cell is
exposed to a different environment, they transcribe different genes.4

15) The first "plastids" evolve. Cyanobacteria form plastids through
endosymbiosis within a eukaryotic cell. Like mitochondria, these organelles
copy themselves and are not made by the cell DNA.6

Plastids provide the eukaryotic cell with food from photosynthesis and gain
protection by living within the cell.7

This is a primary plastid endosymbiosis and so these plastids are surrounded by
a double membrane.8 The inner wall of the plastid being that of the bacterium,
the outer wall being that of the eukoaryote.9

Rhodophyta are common and widespread, unicellular and multicellular algae
(reaching up to 1 m {or 3 feet} in length), and are mostly free-living but some
are parasitic or symbiotic.13

In this organism, unlike single cell eukaryotes, cells stay fastened together
after cell division.

Multicellularity seems to have arisen multiple times independently in
eukaryotes: in fungi, animals, slime molds, and algae.12 13

85) Differentiation in a multicellular eukaryote evolves. In addition to gamete
(or spore) cells, there are somatic cells. Unlike gamete cells, somatic cells
are asexual (non-fusing).2

All cells of an organism are somatic cells, except the sperm and egg cells, the
cells from which they arise (gametocytes), and undifferentiated stem cells.3

Cell differentiation is how cells in a multicellular organism become
specialized to perform specific functions in a variety of tissues and organs.4

301) The haplodiplontic life cycle evolves in algae (mitosis occurs in both
haploid and diploid life stages).4

This is also known as the "alternation of generations".5

Some algae and plants
have a haplodiplontic life cycle; a life cycle where both diploid and haploid
stages are multicellular. The multicellular haploid stage is called the
gametophyte and the multicellular diploid stage is called the sporophyte.6

187) A captured red alga, through endosymbiosis, becomes a plastid in the
ancestor of all chromalveolates.11 12 13

This is a secondary plastid endosymbiosis, where an algae cell is captured
instead of a cyanobacterium which results in a plastid with more than two
membranes.14

221) The first fungi. This begins the Fungi Kingdom.14 15

Like animals, fungi are heterotrophic (unable to build structural materials by
photosynthesis) and so must feed on other living things.16

Fungi live on organic material and are therefore generally parasitic (live or
feed on another organism to the detriment of the host organism17 ) or are
saprophytic (live on dead or decaying organic matter18 ). Some types of fungi,
however, form symbioses with plants.19

Fungi may reproduce sexually or asexually and like plants show alternations in
their life cycle.20

Dinoflagellates {DI-nO-Fla-Je-leTS16 } are single-celled, aquatic organisms
that have two dissimilar flagella. Most are microscopic and marine. An
important link in the food chain, Dinoflagellates also "bloom" which can
produce luminescence seen in the sea.17

The earliest eye is a light sensitive area in a unicellular eukaryote that
probably evolved from a plastid.21 22

Eukaryotes are the first organisms to evolve the ability to follow light
direction in three dimensions in open water.23

DRIPS).8

Mesomycetozoea are in the protist Phylum Choanozoa (which includes the
Choanoflagellates {KO-e-nO-FlaJ-e-lATS9 }, thought to be the ancestor of
sponges).10

29 30 31
Choanoflagellates are the closest relatives to the animals and may be
direct ancestors of sponges.32

There are about 140 species of choanoflagellates. Some are free-swimming,
propelling themselves with a flagellum. Others are attached by a stalk,
sometimes with several together in a colony. Choanoflagellates use their
flagellum to drive water into the funnel where food particles like bacteria are
trapped and engulfed.33

286) Multicellularity evolves in a free moving Protist.15 16 This allows
larger free moving organisms to evolve.17

This multicellularity is thought to be independently evolved, and not related
to the earlier filamentous multicellularity of prokaryotes like cyanobacteria,
and eukaryotes like algae.18 19

81) The first animal and first metazoan, the sponge evolves. This begins the
Animal Kingdom, and the Phylum Porifera; the sponges. There are only three
major kinds of metazoans: sponges, cnidarians, and bilaterians.35 36 37

The word "porifera" means "pore bearing" in Latin38 , and water continuously
flows through the pores in sponges39 .

Metazoans are multicellular and have differentiation (their cells perform
different functions). Sponges have cells that form a body wall, cells that
secrete the skeleton, contractile {KunTraKTL40 } cells, cells that digest food,
and other kinds of cell types.41 42 43 44

All sponge cells are totipotent and so are capable of regrowing a new sponge.45
In sponges there is no distinction between germ line and soma.46 Some sponges
can live for over 1000 years.47

Sponges have two layers, each a single cell thick. The outer surface is called
the pinacoderm {PiN-o-KO-DRM48 } and is made of cells called pinacocytes
{PiN-o-KO-SITS49 }. On the inner surface is the choanoderm {KOenO-DRM or
KO-aNo-DRM50 } which is made of flagellated cells called choanocytes
{KOenO-SITS51 or KO-aNo-SITS52 }. Between these two thin cellular sheets is
the jellylike53 mesohyl {mASuHIL54 }, which may vary in thickness and plays
vital roles in digestion, gamete production, secretion of skeleton, and
transport of nutrients and waste products by special amoeboid cells.55

79) The Metazoan Phylum "Placozoa" evolves.12 13

Placozoans look like amoebas but are multicellular.14 The only known species
is Trichoplax adhaerens {TriKOPlaKS15 aDHEReNZ}. Trichoplax lives in the sea
and feeds on single celled organisms, mostly algae. There are only 4 cell types
in Trichoplax compared to the more than 200 cell types in humans. Trichoplax
has two main cell layers, like a cnidarian or ctenophore. Between these two
layers are a few contractile cells that are similar to muscle cells16 , however
placozoans have no muscle or nerve cells17 18 .

Trichoplax has the lowest content of DNA of any metazoan, about two-thirds that
in sponges, and only 10 times that of bacteria.19

of the Ctenophores and Cnidarians.14 15 This leads to the first ganglion and
brain.16 This is the earliest touch and sound detection, and memory.17

As time continues in the evolution of the metazoans, the number of neurons
increases while the size of neurons decreases, showing that more neurons and
smaller neurons, similar to transistors in a computer, give an organism more
memory and as a result a selective advantage in survival.18

523) The animal Phylum Ctenophora {Ti-noF-R-u12 } evolves (comb jellies).13

Like the Cnidarians, the Ctenophores are diploblastic; they have two embryonic
germ layers- the ectoderm {EKTeDRM14 } and the endoderm {eNDeDRM15 } which
become the adult epidermis and gastrodermis, respectively. The middle
mesenchyme {meSeNKIM16 }, a watery gelatinous fluid, never produces the complex
organs seen in triploblastic Metazoa.17

The main body cavity of the ctenophores is also the digestive chamber, and they
have a simple nerve net.18

Unlike cnidarians, ctenophores lack stinging cells, there is no alternation of
generations in the life cycle, and ctenophores are never colonial.19 20 21

On the surface of the body are eight equally spaced comb plates, called ctenes
{TENZ22 }. Each ctene is composed of a band of cilia. The ctenes provide most
of the movement for the ctenophores.23

Ctenophores are hermaphroditic. Ovaries and testies differentiate from the
endoderm. The gametes are released through temporary gonopores {GoN-o-PORZ24 },
and fertilization is external.25

A large increase in the evolutionary turnover rate of acritarchs is thought to
be the result of the evolution of the nervous system and gut in the eumetazoa
(all ctenophora, cnidaria, and bilateria).3

82) The Animal Phylum Cnidaria {NIDAREeo} evolves (the ancestor of sea
anemones, sea pens, corals, and jellyfish).33 34 35 36 Cnidaria also evolve
the earliest animal eye.37 38

Cnidaria are primarily radially symmetrical animals with tentacles, have a
single body cavity with only one opening to take in food and to release wastes,
and have specialized stinging cells.39

Cnidarians have two alternate body plans, the polyp and the medusa {miDUSe40 }.
A sea anemone or Hydra is a typical polyp: fixed to the ground with mouth on
top.41 Corals are colonial marine polyps that secrete calcareous
{KaL-KAR-E-uS42 } (calcium carbonate43 ) skeletons44 which they live inside
of45 . The medusa form is upside down compared to the polyp form46 , and is
free swimming. A jellyfish has a typical medusa form, swimming through the open
sea. Many cnidarians have both polyp and medusa forms in a single life cycle.47


Polyps often reproduce by budding; a new baby polyp clone grows on the side of
the parent.48 When cnidaria reproduce sexually, sperm are released into the
water and fertilization is usually external.49

Digestion in Cnidarians starts in the gastrovascular cavity, but once the food
is reduced to particles small enough to enter the digestive cells of the
gastrodermis, digestion is completed inside the cell (intracellularly).50

Cnidarians have a nervous system which is a network without a centralized
structure51 52 . They also have muscles which are contracted to propel them.53


Cnidarians see in black or white, because their eyes have only one pigment; for
color vision the eye must have more than one pigment.54 55

91) The start of the Ediacaran {EDEoKRiN10 } soft-bodied invertebrate
fossils.11

The sudden appearance of Ediacaran fossils may relate to the accumulation of
free oxygen in the atmosphere and sea, which may permit an oxidative
metabolism.12


Because the Ediacaran animals are soft-bodied, they are infrequently
preserved.13

107) The Animals Bilaterians evolve (metazoans with two sided symmetry).33 34
35
This is the first triploblastic animal; an animal with a third embryonic
layer, the mesoderm {meZuDRM36 }.37 This is also the earliest animal brain.38


In most bilaterians food enters in one end (the mouth) and waste exits at the
opposite end (the anus). There is an advantage for sense organs like light,
sound, touch, smell, and taste detection to be located on the head near the
mouth to help with getting food.39

Unlike the diploblastic Cnidaria and Ctenophora, bilaterians are
triploblastic.40 41 A third embryonic layer, the mesoderm, lies between the
ectoderm and endoderm. This layer increases the options for the development of
organs with specific functions.42

This begins the Animal Subkingdom "Bilateria".43

worms and nemertodermatida).15 16 17

The Acoelomorpha lack a digestive track, anus and coelom.18 19

Flatworms have no lungs or gills and breathe through their skin. Flatworms also
have no circulating blood and so their branched gut presumably transports
nutrients to all parts of the body.20

no anus, undigested food must be regurgitated through the mouth. The intestine
is lined with a single layer of endodermal cells that perform some or all of
the processes of digestion and absorption.5

532) A cylindrical gut, anus, and through-put of food evolves in a bilaterian.9


All bilaterally symmetrical metazoans except the Phyla Acoelomorpha10 and
Platyhelminthes, have a tubular gut with an anus, mouth, and through-put of
food. The Phyla Nemertea and Entoprocta are the earliest bilaterians with an
anus.11

95) The coelom (SEleM) evolves in a bilaterian.7

The coelem is a fluid filled cavity that forms within the mesoderm and exists
between the gut and body wall8 in most triploblastic animals9 .

The advantage of a coelem is that it allows the body wall and gut wall to act
independently, and also that other organ systems can be developed in the
fluid-filled space. In addition, the fluid in the cavity can act as a
deformable skeleton.10

98) The first circulatory system evolves; blood vessels, and blood evolve in a
bilaterian.16 The first blood cells.17 Cnidarians and flatworms are at most
two sheets of tissue thick and so allow gas exchange and nutrient distribution
by diffusion, but larger animals with thicker tissues require a circulatory
system to distribute materials.18 19 20

The circulatory system transports molecules like gases, food, and waste to and
from individual cells.21 22

In bilaterians with circulatory systems blood may be distributed by contractile
vessels in the blood vessel walls, and/or by hearts.23

major groups: the Ecdysozoa {eK-DiS-u-ZOu33 } and the Lophotrochozoa
{LuFoTroKoZOu34 }.35 36 37 38

The difference between protostomes and deutrostomes arises during embryonic
development. In protostomes, the first indentation of the gastrula (an early
stage of the embryo39 ) develops into the mouth and the second indentation
develops into the anus. The reverse is true for the deuterostomes.40

The earliest teeth evolve. Animals start to eat other animals.24 25

The evolution of teeth and animal predation starts an "arms race" that rapidly
transforms ecosystems around the Earth.26 Teeth and shells evolve as
advantages to survival.27

345) The Deuterostome Phylum Hemichordata evolves; The "Hemichordates", the
ancestor of pterobranchs {TARuBrANKS13 }14 and acorn worms).15

Adult Pterobrachs are sessile, fastening to solid structures, but the younger
(or larval) form is free swimming, and is thought to have retained this form
before evolving into tunicates and then the first fish.16

347) The Deuterostome Phylum Chordata evolves. Chordates are a very large group
that include all tunicates {TUNiKiTS}, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals,
and birds.22 23 Chordates get their name from the notochord {nOTe-KORD24 },
the cartilage rod that runs along the back of the animal, in the embryo if not
in the adult.25

The ancestor of all chordates evolves "upside-down": unlike earlier
invertebrates who have a ventral nerve cord (near the belly26 ) and a dorsal
heart (near the back27 ), this ancestor and all later vertebrates have a dorsal
nerve cord and a ventral heart.28

Chordates have four key characters: a notochord; a dorsal, hollow nerve chord;
gill slits (also called pharyngeal {Fu-riN-JE-uL29 } slits30 ); and a muscular,
post-anal tail.31 The notochord provides skeletal support throughout most of
the length of the chordate and provides a firm but flexible structure from
which attached muscles can contract.32 33

In the higher fishes the notochord is surrounded and gradually replaced by
segmental vertebrae.34

117) The earliest animal shell (or skeleton) evolves.17
This is the earliest
evidence of animals eating other animals (predation).18 19
This begins the
appearance of small shelly fossils and deep burrows correlated with a decline
in stromatolites, possibly from feeding.20

The earliest animal shells are made by tiny organisms with simple tubelike
skeletons, such as Cloudina and Sinotubulites21 22 in addition to sponge
skeleton fossils.23

The shell of Cloudina is made of Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)24 , and is possibly
made by some kind of worm.25

Predatory bore holes have been found in Cloudina shells. This is the oldest
evidence of predation known.26 27

When animals begin to develop hard parts, their probability of preservation
greatly improves.28

that molt (lose their outer skin) as they grow.13 14 This is the ancestor of
round worms, and arthropods (which includes insects and crustaceans {also known
as "shell-fish"}).15

6290) The earliest extant fish, the Chordates Lancelets {laNSleTS12 } (also
called amphioxus {aMFEoKSiS13 }14 ).15 This is also the first liver and
kidney.16

The Lancelet is different from a worm in not being cylindrical, and swims like
a fish using its muscles with side-to-side undulations.17

Lancelets are not vertebrates. They have only a nerve tube on the notochord and
no brain other than a small swelling at the front end of the nerve tube. They
also have an eye-spot.18

The gill slits of Lancelets are primarily for filter feeding.19 Gas exchange
(the absorption of oxygen and emission of carbon dioxide20 ), mostly occurs
across the external body surface.21

Lancelets have no heart and blood is pumped around the body by contractions of
the blood vessels.22

vertebrae).11 12

Some think that segmentation evolved independently in annelid worms,
arthropods, and vertebrates. But the universality of Homeobox genes, evolved
over a billion years earlier13 , implies that all segmented species may share a
common segmented ancestor.14

The phylum Mollusca is the second largest animal phylum after the arthropods,
and is divided into seven classes, three of which (Gastropoda {GaSTroPeDu12 }
(snails), Bivalvia (clams and muscles), and Cephalopoda {SeFeloPeDu13 } (squids
and octupuses) are of major importance.14

Early Cambrian mollusk fossils show the segmentation of the mollusk worm-like
ancestor,15 and have individual plates which imply that the mollusk shell
fused together over the course of millions of years.16

Arthropods can be compared to a segmented worm encased in a rigid
exoskeleton.12

The phylum Arthropoda is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom. Arthropods
include the trilobites, the crustaceans (shrimps, crabs, and lobsters), the
Myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes), the Chelicerata (arachnids and horseshoe
crabs) and the insects.13 All arthropods have a segmented body covered by an
exoskeleton containing chitin, which serves as both armor and as a surface for
muscle attachment.14

most fishes, and all amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds.

The characteristic features of the Vertebrata are a vertebral column, or
backbone, and a cranium, which protects the central nervous system (brain and
spinal cord) and major sense organs.8 This earliest vertebrate skeleton is
made completely of cartilage.9

6349) The arthropods trilobites evolve.15 16 17 18

Trilobites have a segmented body that is divided by into three vertical
lobes.19

There is a transition from soft-bodied organisms, to the clam-like shell
organisms, to the segmented calcite and chitin shells of the trilobites.20

Horseshoe crabs may be descended from trilobites.21

353) Jawed vertebrates evolve, Gnathostomata {no toST omoTo12 }.13 This large
group includes all jawed fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds.14

Jawed fishes have a skeleton made completely of cartilage. Only the teeth
become ossified when mineral crystals, mostly calcium phosphate, become
integrated into them.15

The jaw evolves from parts of the gill skeleton.16

18 19

Vascular plants have a specialized conducting system consisting mostly of
phloem (food-conducting tissue) and xylem (water-conducting tissue),
collectively called vascular tissue.20 The phloem transports sugar and the
xylem transports water and salts.21 Ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants
are all vascular plants.22 In contrast to the nonvascular bryophytes, where
the gametophyte is the dominant phase, the dominant phase among vascular plants
is the sporophyte.23 Because they have vascular tissues, these plants have
true stems, leaves, and roots.24

360) The Jawed fishes Class Osteichthyes {oS TE iK tE EZ10 }) evolves; Bony
fishes, the ancestor of the ray-finned, lobe-fin, and lung fishes.11 12

Bony-fishes have a skeleton that is at least partly ossified or made of bone.13
14

The bony fishes are the ancestors of the tetrapods who will ultimately move
onto land.15

The earliest bony fishes are the ray-finned fishes.16 17 The name ray is
because their fins have a skeleton similar to a handheld fan.18

Most of the ray-finned fishes are known as teleosts, a very successful
evolutionary line that exist in both salt and freshwater.19

6172) The first lung evolves from the swim bladder in ray-finned fishes. Some
teleosts still use their swim bladder for breathing out of water.5 Fishes that
breathe with a lung evolve breathing through a completely different route than
fishes that breathe air through their gill chamber.6

A lichen is a fungus, usually of the class Ascomycetes {aSKOmISETS8 }, that
grows symbiotically with algae and cyanobacteria9 , resulting in a composite
organism that characteristically forms a crustlike or branching growth on rocks
or tree trunks.10

Lichens have a planet-wide distribution and thrive in some of the Earth's
harshest environments, such as polar regions, deserts, and high mountains.11

411) The first flying animal, an arthropod insect, the ancestor of all winged
insects (Pterygota {TARiGOTu22 }). The earliest extant winged insects are the
Orders23 24 Ephemeroptera {eFeMeroPTRo25 }: Mayflies, and the Odonata
{ODenoDo26 }: Dragonflies and Damselflies.27 28 29

Insect wings evolve only once, and all winged insects descend from the first
winged insect.30 31

The development of wings may have helped early insects to escape predators32
and to move over larger distances to find new habitats33 .

A mechanism to fold the wings against the body after landing has a selective

breakage.7

The Neoptera are a very successful lineage and are the ancestors of all
"higher" orders of insects.8

243) The first plant seed evolves; the ancestor of all seed plants.28 29 30 31


The earliest fossil seed is from a seed fern (Pteridosperm {TARiDOSPRM32 }).33
34 35 36 Pteridosperms are a group of extinct seed plants with fernlike leaves
and naked seeds.37

Fossils indicate that the first seed evolves from an enclosing ring of
vegetative lobes that fuse together.38

A seed can be described as an "integumented megasporangium". In the most
primitive vascular plants, the spores are all the same size, but eventually
gender evolves, producing small male "microspores" and larger female
"megaspores". Then individual female megaspores are enclosed by a ring of
vegetative lobes which form an integument or cover.39

384) The first hard-shell egg.22 The Tetrapods Amniota {aMnEOtu23 } evolve;
the ancestor of all reptiles, mammals and birds and the first hard-shell egg.24
The hard-shell egg is waterproof.25 This is the start of vertebrate internal
fertilization, because on land the egg cannot be fertilized as most fishes and
amphibians do, by a male swimming near the eggs and spraying them with sperm.
Amniote males and females must copulate {KoPYelAT26 } so that the sperm can
reach the eggs inside the female.27

Amniotes (reptiles, mammals, and birds) are distinguished from non-amniote
tetrapods (amphibians) by the presence of complex embryonic membranes. One of
these, the amnion, gives its name to the group.28

All living amniotes lay hard-shelled eggs, except most mammals and some snakes
and lizards, where egg laying has been replaced by live birth.29

The egg shell of amniotes may be flexible (like the eggs of many turtles and
lizards) or mineralized and hard (like the eggs of birds, crocodiles and many
tortoises).30

6331) The Amniota divide into the Sauropsida {SOR-roP-SiDu14 } and the
Synapsida {Si-naP-Si-Du15 }.16

The Sauropsida have two major lineages: the Parareptilia (turtles) and the
Eureptilia (dinosaurs, crocodiles and birds).17 The Synapsids also have two
major lineages: the pelycosaurs (which are sail-backed amniotes) and the
therapsids (which are mammal-like amniotes).18

The most primitive extant Gymnosperms, the Cycads evolve now.24

Gymnosperm is Greek for "Naked Seed".25 A gymnosperm reproduces by a seed that
is in direct contact with the environment, as opposed to an angiosperm (a
flowering plant) whose seeds are enclosed by mature ovaries, or fruits.26 27

6359) The Neoptera Holometabola {HoLomeTaBolu or HOlOmeTABolu13 14 } evolve:
Holometabolous insects: (insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, the
ancestor of beetles, bees, true flies, and butterflies).15

The holometabolous insects account for nearly 85% of all insects.16

The Holometabola are insects that have complete metamorphosis (or
holometabolous development). Unlike hemimetabolous insects in which the
immature structures (legs, eyes, antennae, etc.) must also serve the adults,
holometabolous insects have a morphologically reduced larval stage17 and
acquire a completely new body during the pupal stage.18

6308) The Synapsid Therapsids evolve (Cynodonts).2

The Therapsids evolve from Pelycosaurs and largely replace them for a time as
the dominant terrestrial vertebrates. The legs of Therapsids are more directly
positioned under the weight of their body, which results in a more efficient
mode of movement.3

232) The earliest endothermic (or "warm-blooded") and hair growing animal, a
therapsid.13 14

Endothermy is the physiological maintenance, by a body, of a constant
temperature independent of the external environmental temperature. Hair for
insulation is correlated to endothermy.15

Both birds and mammals are endothermic (also called "warm blooded") as opposed
to other vertebrates (like amphibians and crocodiles16 ) which are ectothermic
(or "cold blooded) and cannot internally generate heat.17

Endothermy allows birds and mammals to maintain a high and relatively constant
body temperature, even at rest, during a wide range of external environmental
conditions.18

Sauropodomorpha (SoroPiDimORFu18 } and the Therapoda {tiRoPiDu19 }.20

The Sauropodomorphs are divided into prosauropods and sauropods, are mostly
plant-eating, and include the large, long-necked dinosaurs like Apatosaurus.21


The Theropod {tERePoD22 } dinosaurs are bipedal and carnivorous and include
Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Velociraptor. All birds descend from a Therapod
ancestor.23 24

456) The earliest extant mammals, the Mammal Order Monotremata10
{moN-O-Tre-moD-e11 } evolves: the Monotremes {moNeTrEMZ12 }.13

Monotremes are an order of primitive egg-laying mammals restricted to
Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. The Monotremes consist of only the platypus
and two species of echidna.14 15

Monotreme means "single hole" in Greek.16 Like birds and reptiles, monotremes
have a single opening, the cloaca {KlO-A-Ko17 }, for the passage of liquid and
solid wastes, the transfer of sperm, and, in the female, the laying of eggs.18


After hatching, young cling to the belly of the mother. Monotremes have no
nipples, but milk is secreted for the young by mammary glands on the belly of
the mother through openings in the mother's skin.19 20

Monotremes are also the most primitive extant warm blooded and hair growing
species.21

393) The Therapods {tERePoDZ10 } Birds evolve. The first feather.11

Fossils of therapod dinosaurs from China indicate that feathers may have
originally evolved on non-flying reptiles for insulation (or courting12 ) and
not for flight.13

At least one known feathered dinosaur can probably glide, which suggests that
flapping flight evolves as an extension of gliding from trees.14 15

Birds have highly developed color vision.16

245) The Seed plants angiosperms evolve. The first flowering plant.21 22 23

Almost all grains, beans, nuts, fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices come from
plants with flowers. Much of our clothing comes from flowering plants too, for
example: cotton and linen are made from "fibers" of flowering plants, as are
rope and burlap. Many commercial dyes and drugs also come from flowering
plants.24

Angiosperms represent approximately 80 percent of all the known green plants
now living. The angiosperms are vascular seed plants in which the ovule (or
egg) is fertilized and develops into a seed in an enclosed hollow ovary. The
ovary is usually enclosed in a flower, the part of the angiosperm that contains
the male or female reproductive organs or both.25 The fruit is the ovary of a
plant which encloses seeds.26

Ceratopsian dinosaurs are plant-eating dinosaurs.7 Later ceratopsians have
massive heads armed with a sharp beak, long horns and a large sheet of bone
that grows from the back of the skull.8

457) The Mammals Marsupials evolve.12 The first nipple and breast.13 14

Marsupium means pouch in Latin. Marsupials are born as tiny embryos and crawl
through their mother's fur into the pouch where they clamp their mouths to a
nipple. The other main group of mammals are called placentals because they feed
their embryos using a placenta which allows the baby to be born much later. The
pouch is like an external womb.15

163) The Mammals Eutheria evolve: Placental mammals.8

The Eutheria are mammals that have a placenta. The placenta is an organ that
forms in the uterus to aid in the exchange of food and wastes between the blood
of the mother and fetus through an umbilical cord.9 10

Placental mammals include all living mammals except marsupials and monotremes.
The placenta allows for a longer developmental period within the protection of
the womb which may give the placentals a selective advantage.11

252) The Angiosperms Monocotyledons (or "Monocots") evolve: Flowering plants
that have a single cotyledon (or seed leaf) in the embryo.15 16 17

Monocots are the second largest lineage of flowers after the Eudicots, and
include lilies, palms, orchids, and grasses.18 19

The two main orders of Monocots are "Base Monocots" and "Commelinids".20

525) The Primates "New World Monkeys" evolve (the ancestor of the Sakis,
Spider, Howler and Squirrel monkeys, Capuchins {KaP YU CiNZ8 }, and Tamarins).9


The ancestor of all New World monkeys probably originates in Africa, but all
surviving descendants now live in the Americas, which suggests that a small
group of New World monkeys got across the early Atlantic Ocean to South
America, perhaps by rafting on fallen trees over a chain of islands.10

Bipedalism may evolve so that hands are free to carry food for later use,36

590) The Human language of thirty short sounds begins to develop.9 All words
are single syllable.10

This is the beginning of the transition from the verbal language of chimpanzees
and monkeys, to the language humans use now, which has shorter sound duration
and a larger number of sounds.11

The majority of the 40 or so basic sounds in human language (A, B, K, D, E,
etc.) are probably learned before humans leave Africa, because although words
vary, all humans use the same base sounds.12

Humans start to name objects and actions.13

233) The earliest writing (on clay objects in Mesopotamia). The first numbers.
The first stamp (or seal).11

The first writing begins as symbols for numbers on clay bulla (hollow clay
containers that hold clay tokens). These symbols represent the quantity and
kind of tokens inside the bulla.12 13 14 Markings on clay tokens which
represent products like sheep, oil, or metal, may lead to the first symbols of
the alphabet.15 16 17 Hollow bullae and clay tokens are eventually replaced by
solid clay tablets with the same impressions.18

1261) Writing on clay tablets.23 24 25

Symbols that represent a product (such as cows, sheep, and cereals26 ), drawn
with a stylus on clay tablets, are the earliest record of what will become the
modern alphabet.27 28 Many of the symbols look like the marked clay tokens
that represent actual products, and that are replaced by the drawn symbols on
clay tablets.29 30 31

This is the first training and industry of scribes,32 which will ultimately
evolve into the modern school system.33 Writing will be continuously taught
eventually in all major civilizations (even through the Dark Ages) until now.34


These tablets are all economic records, used to keep a record of objects owned
or traded35 , and contain no stories.36

1271) The earliest written stories. These consist of epics and myths, hymns and
laments, proverbs and wisdom.9

These writings record a belief in Gods, Goddesses, a Heaven, and an Under
World.10

There are clear similarities between the Sumerian and the later Greek stories,
for example stories about the creation of the universe, good and bad deeds of
the gods, and of a flood.11

The Sumerians believe in a variety of Gods and Goddesses12 . People of other
regions have similar Gods and Goddesses, but with different names, for example,
the Sumerian Goddess of love and war, Inanna is analogous to the Babylonian
Ishtar, the Greek Aphrodite, and the Roman Venus. Similarly the Sumerian
sky-god An {oN13 }, is analogous to the Babylonian "Anu" {o-nU14 }, the Greek
"Zeus", and Roman "Jupiter".15

1666) The theory that light is made of particles is revived by Rene Descartes
(DAKoRT)5 , who compares light to a ball, and is the first to describe the two
major theories of light: that light may be transmitted by particle collision
(the "wave" or "constant collision" theory) or by particles that move mostly
without collision through space (the "corpuscular" or "rare collision"
theory).6 7

1707) The theory of light "diffraction".3 4 Light passed through two narrow
holes, one behind the other, causes some light to appear outside of the cone of
light made by the holes. This is thought to be a new property of light named
"diffraction" in which light bends around the side of a hole.5 6 But this
outer light can also be explained as light reflected off the inside surface of
the hole.7

the medium being a fluid between the stars associated with the ancient concept
of aether5 . In this view light is analogous to sound: a motion that results
from the collisions of many transparent material particles of a medium.6

Hooke
also uses the word "cells" to describe tiny rectangular holes in a thin sliver
of cork viewed under a microscope,7 and publishes the first images of a
microorganism (and protist).8

addition the concept and equation of momentum (mass times velocity), and the
theory of the conservation of momentum is established.5 6 Note that
conservation of momentum may result from the separate conservation of mass and
of motion.7

through calcite are seen double which is explained as light being refracted at
two different angles.4 This may be the result of light particles reflecting

1829) The corpuscular theory of light is firmly established by Isaac Newton. In
this view light is thought to be made of material particles that move through
any medium. Newton shows that color is a property of light, not of objects.
Newton also separates white light into primary colors and recombines primary
colors to form white light. Newton also shows that light of different colors
refract at different angles.7 8 9

1845) The law of gravitation by Isaac Newton; that all matter attracts other
matter with a force that is the product of their masses, and the inverse of
their distance squared.6

Newton clearly distinguishes between mass and weight7 , viewing mass as the
quantity of matter contained in a body8 , and defines a force as the product of
mass and acceleration (F=ma).9

Newton shows that the acceleration on any mass from a second mass due to
gravity can be calculated as the mass of the second object divided by the
distance between the two objects squared10 and theorizes that even light
particles are affected by gravity.11

6594) The mass and density of the planets are determined5 and the theory that
the Universe is made of mostly empty space by Newton6 .

Newton calculates the mass of Jupiter to be around 1/1000th the mass of the
Sun, Saturn around 1/2000th, and the Earth to be 1/200000th.7

Newton estimates the density of Earth to be about 4 times the density of the
Sun, Jupiter 3/4 the density, and Saturn only 1/2 the density.8

Newton allows that gravitational attraction may arise as a result of emissions
from the bodies themselves, or by the action of a material medium.9 10 11

Newton also recognizes that the Sun is moved by the gravity of the other
planets.12

2408) The theory that light is a transverse wave (oscillates at a right angle
to the direction of travel)4 in an aether medium5 .6 This theory is used to
explain light polarization as the alignment of light waves oscillating in the
same plane.7
But polarization can also be explained as "planarization", in
which light is filtered into parallel planes when reflected.8

wavelength (or particle interval) of light to the grating groove spacing and
the angle between the spectral line and the perpendicular to the grating. This
equation is then used to calculate wavelengths of light from a diffraction
grating for the first time.4 5 6

transfer electricity with a change in voltage, current, or phase6 .

A primary coil is found to cause current in an unconnected secondary coil, but
only when the primary current is switched on or off, and not during a constant
current.7

2705) The (dynamic) electric generator (or "dynamo"). By mechanically moving a
conductor near a magnet, a constant electric current is produced.9 10

Now a steam engine or water power can be used to produce electricity. The
generator creates a large and low cost supply of electric current.11

2540) The parallax of a different star is measured, by comparing the position
of 61 Cygni {SiG-nI6 }, to two other more distant stars during the course of a
year. After correcting for the proper motion, the star appears to move in an
ellipse every year which is due to parallax.7

3033) The theory of evolution is popularized: the theory that life descends
from a single common ancestor10 , that many more organisms than can survive are
born, each with individual differences, and through a process of natural
selection, only the best adapted can survive to reproduce and pass on their
successful traits, while the less adapted die out11 .12 13

Many religious people are shocked that humans and apes might have a common
ancestor.14

3087) The spectral lines emitted when a substance is burned are used to
determine the atomic composition of the substance. That each element emits and
absorbs light at the same specific frequencies is recognized.7

The first element in the atmosphere of the Sun, sodium, is identified from the
two dark "D" lines in the Sun's spectrum, and the finding that a spectral
emission line can only be reversed to an absorption line when the absorber is
colder than the emitter.8 9

3997) The first microphone, speaker, and telephone is invented. Sound is
converted to electricity and back to sound again.11 12

A microphone converts variations in sound (air pressure) into variations in
electric current, which can be carried over long distances in metal wire, and
then converted back into the air vibrations of sound using a speaker.13

Sound can be sent farther as electric current in a wire than mechanically in
air and travels silently.14

3428) The spectra of nebulae and galaxies are seen. Unlike stars, nebulae are
shown to have no spectrum except for a few emission lines, and therefore to be
composed of gas by using spectral comparison.3 4

The spectrum of the Andromeda galaxy and a globular cluster are both found to
have a continuous spectrum with absorption lines, similar to that of a star.5

4157) The Michelson experiment: Light is found to have the same speed in any
direction horizontal to the Earth; this causes doubt about the existence of an
aether medium and about the wave theory for light.6 7 8 9 10

An interferometer splits a beam of monochromatic light with a glass plate into
two directions at a right angle to each other, and reflects them back together
to detect interference. If the Earth moves through an aether, one ray will take
more time and cause interference, but no interference is observed.11

than lower frequencies of light is found.1 2

In addition, electrical induction is shown to be like light in being propagated

3818) The first planet of another star is detected by the oscillation of a
spectral line; the star Algol {aL-GoL5 }.6
Unlike spectroscopic binary stars,
these spectra only show one oscillating spectral line, because the light from
the companion is too dim to see.7

Argon is isolated from air and identified from its unique spectrum. Since Argon
combines with no element, Argon is recognized to be part of an eighth group of
elements that have a valence of zero.4 5

3936) X-rays are discovered.9 10

Radiation from a cathode ray tube is found to pass through very thick paper and
even thin layers of metal, to cause luminescence in a paper covered with barium
platinocyanide. These rays cannot be bent by even a strong magnetic field like
cathode rays, but yet apparently do not refract, polarize or interfere like
visible light does.11 The rays are also found to be absorbed by air less than
cathode rays are. These rays are called "X-rays"12 and the first X-ray
photographs are captured; of the interiors of metal objects and of the bones in
a human hand.13

X rays are extremely14 useful as a new tool in health sciences to see and
penetrate into bodies.15

4151) Radioactivity is discovered: invisible rays are detected from a uranium
salt.2

The fluorescent chemical, potassium uranyl {YR-i-nL3 } sulfate, is found to
emit x-rays (which appear on a photographic plate wrapped in black paper placed
underneath it) even without being made fluorescent by sunlight.4

This emission of X-rays from potassium uranyl sulfate without any external
source, implies that atoms are composed of smaller particles.5

4260) Cathode rays are shown to be made of particles (later called electrons).5
This is the first particle (besides light6 ) known to be smaller than an
atom.7 8

By deflecting cathode-rays with an electromagnetic field, the ratio of mass to
electric charge of cathode ray particles is measured to be 10-7 grams per
coulomb, 1000 times smaller than an ion of hydrogen from electrolysis. In
addition, the theory that cathode rays are made of small negatively charged
particles which are a part of all atoms.9 10 11

A cathode ray tube is made with a mica screen inside which is coated with
fluorescent material. This allows an electron beam inside the tube to be
deflected by varying currents in electromagnets, which moves a luminous spot of
light on the screen. This leads to the television and computer display.10 11

mass to charge ratio similar to a hydrogen ion. These positive particles will
later be called protons.3 4 The speed of these particles is determined to be
around 1000 times slower than the speed of light.5

the magnetization of tiny parts of a single wound wire sequentially in direct
proportion to the electric current produced by the sound. When each part is
moved past an electromagnet the sound is played out loud again in a telephone
receiver.7 8 This will lead to video tapes and hard disks.9

4796) That the color of a star is related to its size is recognized, the
relative brightness of a star is determined by scaling its apparent brightness
by its distance, and the theory of stellar evolution: that stars lose
brightness over time changing color in the direction of blue to red. In
addition, red and yellow stars are thought to be divided into two groups, one
with high brightness and the other with low brightness1 .2

4528) The brightness of Cepheid variable stars is shown to decrease linearly
with the logarithm of their period of variation; so the brighter the star, the
longer the period. By comparing the intrinsic brightness from the period of
variation to the apparent brightness, the distance to the variable star can be
calculated.1 2

4939) The diffraction of x-rays by atomic planes in a crystal of zinc sulfide
is discovered. The wavelength (or particle interval) of x-rays is determined to
be around 10 picometers which is smaller than ultraviolet light, and this
suggests that x-rays are very high frequency light.2

4404) Diffraction is explained as particle reflection.6 7 The dispersion of
light by a crystal (grating, or prism) into a spectrum of increasing
frequencies is given a corpuscular explanation: that particles of the same
spacing as planes of atoms in a crystal (or grating grooves in a grating), at a
specific angle of incidence, all reflect in the same direction.8

The grating equation is applied to the phenomenon of X-ray diffraction by
crystals and this is used to make accurate determinations of the wavelengths
(or particle intervals) of X-rays.9

around a stationary positive nucleus with momentum=h/2pi (h is Planck's
constant). The electrons give off or absorb fixed amounts of energy (quanta) by
moving from one orbit to another.1 2

distance between parallel atomic planes in crystals that reflect the particles
in the beam.1 2 3 This is the beginning of using x-ray "diffraction" to
determine the shape and the position of each atom in a molecule.4

4863) The Andromeda galaxy is claimed to have a very high velocity relative to
the Earth.3 4
From Doppler shift Andromeda is estimated to be moving towards
the Earth with an average radial velocity of 300 km/s,5 1/100th the speed of
light6 , the highest velocity ever observed.7

4761) Ultrasonic sound (sound with a frequency too high to be heard by the
human ear4 ) is produced by piezoelectricity and used to determine the location
of objects by reflection (sonar).5 6

Sonar can detect objects in air7 , and in water (for example a fetus inside the
womb,8 and objects in the ocean9 ).

4750) Atomic transmutation and atomic fusion.12 13 14

When a high speed Alpha particle from Radium collides with an atom of nitrogen
gas, a proton is knocked lose from the nitrogen atom which causes a point of
light to appear on a zinc sulfate screen. In losing a proton, the nitrogen atom
is converted into an oxygen atom.15 This is the first time one element is
changed into another, which was a dream of the alchemists. This is also the
first "nuclear" reaction16 and the first atomic fusion; a larger atom being
made from smaller atoms.17

5660) The double helix structure of DNA is understood.13 14 15

The DNA molecule is a double helix made of a sugar-phosphate backbone, with the
connected nitrogenous bases (adenine {aDN-EN16 }, thymine {tI-mEN17 }, cytosine
{SITe-SEN18 } or guanine {GWo-nEN19 }) extending toward the center of the helix
from each of the two backbones. The double helix form requires that an adenine
can only pair with a thymine, and a cytosine can only pair with a guanine. The
process of copying (replication) can now be explained as the two strands of the
double helix being unwound, and each single helix then serves as a model for
its complement.20 21 22

5649) The MASER (which stands for "microwave amplification by stimulated
emission of radiation").25 26 27 28 29 30

A beam of ammonia molecules emerges through a hole, passes through an
electrostatic field into a cavity with an oscillating electric potential at the
molecular transition frequency. This causes microwave light to be emitted by
the molecules in the cavity which then induces the transition to light emission
in the molecules entering the cavity causing self-sustained oscillations with a
very stable frequency. So the MASER can be used as a very stable oscillator (or
atomic clock), as an amplifier of microwaves near a molecular resonance, and as
a microwave spectrometer.31

5774) Light is proven to have mass. Gravity is shown to change the frequency of
light proving that the speed of light is not constant.4 5 6

The Mössbauer effect is used (with radioactive Iron-57) to show that the
wavelength of a beam of light with gamma wavelength is increased (or
red-shifted) as the beam is sent from the top floor of a tower to the basement.
This is because of the stronger gravity field at the basement which is closer
to the center of Earth.7

5768) The LASER (which stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission
of radiation"). Light is fed into a ruby cylinder from a flash lamp, and the
ruby emits light that is monochromatic (single frequency) and coherent (all the
beams are in a single direction). These coherent beams of light can travel
thousands of kilometers without spreading very far apart.7

identified in that time appears different depending on which of two clocks is
viewed as stationary, and the first recognition that spectral line position
changes as a result of a change in light source distance.1 2

does not involve an irreversible modification for the embryo to develop.4

337) Remote neuron writing using microscopic devices in neurons. Microscopic
devices enter the human body by the lung, enter the blood circulation which
connects directly to all cells, and position themselves as organelles inside
each neuron. External devices communicate with the intracellular devices to
read the voltage and to remotely make the neuron cell fire.5

Sounds, images, smells, touches, emotions, and muscle contractions can now be
remotely activated in a brain by sending light particles to intracellular
devices.

687) Large scale atomic transmutation: Humans can convert most common atoms
(like Silicon, Aluminum, Iron, and Calcium) into much more useful atoms (like
Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen). This allows many humans to live independently
of Earth, in ships, and on planets and moons without air or water, because they
can produce all the air, fuel, water and food they need from the common atoms
of planets and moons.

Because of large scale transmutation large self-sufficient cities of humans can
be created on airless and waterless planets and moons.1

4629) Human anatomical changes start to become apparent as a result of living
many generations in low gravity. Humans may start to look like ocean organisms
which do not walk but instead move by pushing the surrounding medium using
their appendages. Humans may also develop more and larger sex-related organs of
both genders.

Jupiter exploding. The removal of the atmosphere is a natural result of ships
"feeding" on the matter of Jupiter; the lost mass is replaced by added ships
and people.
