    This document presents a timeline that depicts the history of planet Earth over 5 billion years in three sections at different scales. The first section shows the formation of Earth 5 billion years ago and the emergence of early life forms after another billion years. The second section displays the continued evolution of plants and animals for billions of years until the appearance of early human ancestors around 12 million years ago. The third section indicates that civilization is relatively recent, with the first permanent settlements only 12,000 years ago and written records extending back half as long to 5,000 years ago.

    A time line is a

    visual device that


    helps us
    understandhistorica
    l change.The upper
    time line represents
    5 billion years
    ofthe history ofthe
    planet Earth.This
    time line isdivided
    into three
    sections,each
    ofwhich is drawn
    to adifferent scale
    oftime.The first
    section,
    The
    Earth’sOrigins
    ,begins with the
    planet’s origins 5
    billion yearsbefore
    the present (B.P.)
    and indicates that
    another fullbillion
    years passed
    before the earliest
    forms oflifeappeare
    d.The second
    section,
    Our Human
    Origins
    ,shows that plants
    and animals
    continued to
    evolve forbillions
    more
    years until,approxi
    mately 12 million
    yearsago,our
    earliest human
    ancestors came
    onto the
    scene.Inthe third
    section ofthis time
    line,
    Earliest
    Civilisation
    ,we see that what
    we term
    civilisation is
    relatively
    recent,indeed,with
    the first
    permanent settleme
    nts occurring inthe
    Middle East a scant
    12,000 years
    ago.But the
    writtenrecord
    ofour
    species’existence
    extends back only
    halfthislong,to the
    time humans
    invented writing
    and firstfarmed
    with animal-driven
    ploughs some
    5,000 years B.P
