I have been collecting some data , on a part time basis , from different sources , a timeline of evolution of life on earth ... I like to submit to you guys the results of this expertise ... And , for those who are interested , I'd like you guys to add or bring some corrections to this list ... Note : I was unable to figue out , how to attach a file , so , I'll post the timeline in the next post ...

Hope I get this right and don't add to the confusion 6,500 Million = 6.5 billion 6,500 x 1,000,000 (1 Million) = 6,500,000,000 6,500 Million 6.5B
Mic Mack Im impressed a lot of work and work that fits the observed evidence I at least understand every number and classification..tho i might suggest oldest stars at 1 billion years earlier also add 10 to 15% to major extinctions. [250,000,000 - major extinction 75%] my belief is 99 % So dont feel too down to the idgit responses you get There are minds like yours asking same questions. Dont be alone If you ever want a mind to palaver with im here for for a few more weeks more than that send email
how sad is this,, kids that cant count. why so many post on the MOST FUNDAMENTAL math 1000 million is a billion DUH what will they do when i say a light year is 9.5 trillion kms. cognitive paralysis
I like your timeline. It will be interesting to see the changes that come about as we refine our knowledge and techniques. While I agree with most of the historical evidence, I cannot help but think we are missing a lot of data. I loved anthropology class in college (many, many, years ago), and have noted with interest the changes that have come about in the standard timetables since then.
