17-3 Evolution of Multicellular Life How multicellular life evolved from its earliest forms to its present day diversity

Precambrian Time Almost 90 percent of Earth’s history occurred during the Precambrian. Simple anaerobic forms of life appeared and were followed by photosynthetic forms, which added oxygen to the atmosphere. Life existed only in the sea.

Paleozoic Era Rich fossil evidence shows that early in the Paleozoic Era, there was a diversity of marine life.

Cambrian Period The diversification of life during the Cambrian Period is known as the “Cambrian Explosion”. For the first time, many organisms had hard parts, including shells and outer skeletons.

Cambrian Period T The first known representataives of most major animal phyla evolved during this time.

Ordivician and Silurian Periods The ancestors of modern octopi and squid appeared. Aquatic arthropods appeared, some became the first animals to live on land. The first land plants evolved.

Devonian Period The Devonian is often called the “Age of Fishes” Vertebrates began to invade the land. The first land vertebrates were amphibians

Carbiniferous and Permian Periods The mass extinction at the end of the Paleozoic affected both plants and animals on land and in the seas. As much as 95 percent of the complex life in the oceans disappeared.

Pangea Supercontine nt that formed during the late Paleozoic Era

Mesozoic Era Events during the Mesozoic include the increasing dominance of dinosaurs. The Mesozoic is marked by the appearance of flowering plants.

Triassic Period Reptiles were so successful during the Mesozoic Era that this time is often called the Age of Reptiles Mammals also first appeared during the late Triassic Period, probably evolving from mammal-like reptiles.

Jurassic Period Dinosaurs became the dominant animals on land. Dinosaurs “ruled” Earth for 150 million years. One of the first birds, Archaeopteryx, appeared during this time.

Cretaceous Period Reptiles continued to dominate during this period, but flying reptiles became extinct. Small flowering plants appeared At the close of the Cretacious, another mass extinction occurred, wiping out half of all plant and animal groups.

Cenozoic Era During the Cenozoic, mammals evolved adaptations that allowed them to live in various environments-on land, in water, and in the air. The Age of Mammals

Tertiary Period In the oceans, whales, dolphins and other mammals evolved Grasses evolved, providing a food source for grazing mammals such as the ancestors of cattle and horses Some mammals and birds became very large

Quaternary Period Earth’s climate cooled, causing a series of ice ages. So much of Earth’s water was frozen in glaciers that the level of oceans fell by more than 100 meters About 20,000 years ago, Earth’s climate became warm

Quaternary Period The first fossils assigned to our own species, Homo Sapiens, may have appeared as early as 200,000 years ago in Africa. Earlier human ancestors may have appeared 4.5 million years ago.
