October 1945 Eukaryotes evolve through endosymbiosis,
May 1968, the peak of stromatolites (bacterial mats), as well as the origin of sexual reproduction (that is kind of funny)
January 1981 the second Snowball Earth period begins
March 1984, decline of stromatolites that are grazed upon by the first animals which did not leave fossils
May 1987 end of 2nd Snowball Earth as well as the evolution of the first jellyfish, sponges, flatworms. This is the first time animals have neurons. January 1988 Ediacaran fauna. Mysterious animals, that disappeared shortly after. Georgia and Conneticut celebrate their bicentennials
March 1989 The Cambrian Explosion of fossil leaving animals. Pikaia is the first “known” chordate. All known phyla established, arthropods dominant in the form of trilobites, August 1989 first jawless fish and “known” vertebrate animal. May 1992-February 1993 Silurian Period (first bony fish with movable jaws, coral reefs make their appearance, vascular plants evolve). January 1993 Plants invade land January 1995 tetrapods invade land, first seed bearing plants. June 1995-May 1997 the Golden age of sharks starts April 1996. The synapsid split that led to mammals. November 1996- September 2000 time period that Pangea exists. Pangea forms June 1998 Permian-Triassic extinction event (90% of marine species, 70% of land vertebrates) February 1999 appearance of dinosaurs.

July 2001 Archeopteryx, first “known” fossil bird,April 2002, flowers evolve for first time, June 2002 placental mammal lineage splits off from mainline mammal evolution.September 2003, intense mammalian diversification and radiation. March 2004 apperance of Tyrannasaurus Rex. May 2004 Meteor hits Earth and effectively wipes out dinosaurs. Known as Cretaceous Tertiary Extinction Event.September 2004 Australia breaks from Antarctica. First proto-primates appearAugust 2004- May 2005. The Eocene in which most modern mammalian orders appear including whales and hooved animals, as well as carnivores. February 2006 humans and chimps split from eachother, the same month the human population reaches 6.5 billion
