Evolutionary Timeline
From first life-forms to homo sapiens
* The background indicates inches and feet.
* 1/20th in. = roughly 100 thousand years. (108,000)
* 1 in. = about 2 million years. (2,160,000)
* 1 ft. = about 26 million years. (25,920,000)
* The whole page is about 135 feet wide, almost half a football field, representing 3.5 billion years. (3,500,000,000)

Clever indeed, although similar has been done. I wonder how our fellow tetrapods at the various Refuges for the Reverent & Reality-Challenged might respond to it. Why we might even hear some new ways of defining 'Theory.' 
Thanks for sharing.

His sources indicate that multicelled organisms and Eukaryotes started so closely together that it is indistinguishable on the timeline. Not that they are equivalent critters. His verbiage is unclear. |
