The Evolution Timeline
 
A time line in millions of years from the big bang. look at when humans first appeared!
This is from Ms Saxe's blogsite: 
The Evolutionary Timeline (units are a million years)
4600 Formation of the approximately homogeneous solid Earth
4300 Atmospheric water is broken down by ultraviolet light to give off oxygen atoms which are incorporated into an ozone layer and hydrogen molecules which escape into space 
3800 The Earth's crust solidifies---formation of the oldest rocks found on Earth 
3800 Condensation of atmospheric water into oceans 
3500--2800 Prokaryotic cell organisms develop 
3500--2800 Beginning of photosynthesis by blue-green algae which releases oxygen molecules into the atmosphere and steadily works to strengthen the ozone layer and change the Earth's chemically reducing atmosphere into a chemically oxidizing one 
1500 Eukaryotic cell organisms develop 
1500--600 Rise of multicellular organisms (Cambrian explosion)                              
545 Cambrian explosion of hard-bodied organisms
500--450 Rise of the fish---first vertebrates 
430 Waxy coated algae begin to live on land 
420 Millipedes have evolved---first land animals 
375 The Appalachian mountains are formed via a plate tectonic collision between North America, Africa, and Europe 
375 Appearance of primitive sharks 
350--300 Rise of the amphibians 
350 Primitive insects have evolved 
350 Primitive ferns evolve---first plants with roots 
300--200 Rise of the reptiles 
300 Winged insects have evolved 
280 Beetles and weevils have evolved 
250 Permian period mass extinction
230 Roaches and termites have evolved 
225 Modern ferns have evolved 
225 Bees have evolved 
200 Pangaea starts to break apart 
200 Primitive crocodiles have evolved 
200 Appearance of mammals 
145 Archaeopteryx walks the Earth 
136 Primitive kangaroos have evolved 
100 Primitive cranes have evolved 
90 Modern sharks have evolved 
65 The Chicxulub impact occurs
65 K-T Boundary---extinction of the dinosaurs and beginning of the reign of mammals 
60 Rats, mice, and squirrels have evolved 
60 Herons and storks have evolved 
55 Rabbits and hares have evolved 
50 Primitive monkeys have evolved 
28 Koalas have evolved 
20 Parrots and pigeons have evolved 
20--12 The chimpanzee and hominid lines evolve
4 Development of hominid bipedalism
4--1 Australopithecus exist
3.5 The Australopithecus Lucy walks the Earth
2 Widespread use of stone tools
2--0.01 Most recent ice age
1.6--0.2 Homo erectus exist
1--0.5 Homo erectus tames fire
0.2--0.03 Homo sapiens neanderthalensis exist
0.05--0 Homo sapiens sapiens exist
0.04--0.012Homo sapiens sapiens enter Australia from southeastern Asia and North America from northeastern Asia
0.025--0.01 Most recent glaciation---an ice sheet covers much of the northern United States
0.017 Homo sapiens sapiens paint the Lascaux cave
0.01 First permanent homo sapiens sapiens settlements
0.01 Homo sapiens sapiens learn to use fire to cast copper and harden pottery
0.006 Writing is developed in Sumeria
