Timeline of life’s evolution extended by nearly 1.5 billion years
https://www.earth.com/news/timeline-of-lifes-evolution-extended-by-nearly-1-5-billion-years/
If all the world’s a stage, and all the species merely players, then their exits and entrances can be found in the rock record. This poetic perspective highlights the continuous evolution and unfolding of life’s history, a narrative that is etched into fossils and the layers of sediment in which they are found.
A recent Virginia Tech analysis has now extended this narrative back to nearly 2 billion years ago, offering a more complete picture of life’s origin, diversification, and extinction.
