Interactive Evolutionary Timeline

June 1st, 2009

Was reading Science News today and saw at the bottom of the page a pretty neat interactive Darwin Timeline (Beware that this is a slideshow and will pop up as such. It doesn’t actually have it’s own web page although the link will take you to the timeline over the top of sciencenews.org home page.)

It starts at 4.6 Billion B.C. at the formation of the solar system and goes pretty in depth up until present day. Ending in 2008 with the first sequenced Neandertal mitochondrial genome, which they say shows no evidence of interbreeding with humans.

Just thought it was a pretty fun way to look through the history of evolution. Clicking on this link will show you diet pills reviews. Clicking on the images in the slide show will show you a bit more about certain periods with little tidbits about the life that existed, or has been discovered during them. You may have to scroll down a bit to see the timeline at first if your monitor isn’t big enough.
