6. 2/26/20166 (1)Bacteria -- The first life on earth (about 3.9 Billion years ago) Tasks: Prepare the earth for advanced life - Distribute organic nutrients worldwide - Including fixed Carbon, Nitrogen - Build an Oxygen Atmosphere (2) Eukaryotes (Proper Cells with nucleus and much more) … About 1.9 Billion years ago after 2 billion years of bacteria. Tasks: Build visible multi-celled plants and animals (3) Marine visible plants and animals … About 530 Million years ago Tasks: Make more of them. (4) Populate Land and Air with plants and animals … About 430 Million years ago (Migration to land had to wait for ozone layer to build up) … Followed by flowering plants, mammals, and every good thing. THE PLAN FOR LIFE ON EARTH

7. 2/26/20167 Bacteria were first life on earth (about 3.9 Billion years ago) Tasks: Prepare the earth for advanced life - Distribute organic nutrients worldwide - Including fixed Carbon, Nitrogen - Build an Oxygen Atmosphere … Followed by Eukaryotes (the proper cell) (1.9 Billion years ago) Tasks: Build visible multi-celled plants and animals … Followed by visible marine plants and animals (530 Million years ago) … Followed by land/air plants and animals (420 Million years ago) (had to wait for ozone layer to build up) … Followed by flowering plants (fruits, vegetables, grains, grasses – 120-60 Million years ago) … Followed by Humans (30?-50? thousand years ago?)
