The document summarizes the key stages in the evolution of life on Earth. It describes how simple molecules like CO2, CO, CH4, NH4, H2O, N2, and H2 initially comprised the atmosphere. Monomers then formed and later combined into polymers like carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. Proteinoids and prontobionts emerged before the development of self-replicating molecules like RNA and DNA. Finally, oxygen was added to the atmosphere, and early life progressed from prokaryotes to Cyanobacteria to eukaryotes and eventually multicellular plants and animals colonizing land.

Standards: 1.C.1:b, 1.D.1:a1-5, 1.D.2:a1-2,b1-2, 2.A.2:e In earths primitive days, CO2, CO, CH4, NH4, H2O, N2, and H2 were all part of the atmosphere. Monomers (monosaccharides, fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleotides) came about soon after that. After that, polymers (carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids) began to be assembled. After the polymers, proteinoids and prontobionts (structures before cells formed) were created. The self replicating molecules (RNA and then DNA) were formed next. Finally, oxygen was added to the atmosphere. Order: prokaryotes in stromatolites, Cyanobacteria, eukaryotesmarine life, multicellular eukaryotes, land colonization-plants, animal diversity.
