14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change
Land Environments
The History of LifeChapter 14
Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago as a molten planet.
Gravity pulled the densest elements to the center of the planet during the first 500 million years.
After about 4 billion years, a solid crust formed on the surface, but molten outer core remains.
Volcanoes erupted, giving off gases and forming the early atmosphere.

Clues in Rocks
The History of Life
A fossil is any preserved evidence of an organism.
Most organisms decompose before they have a chance to become fossilized.
14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change
Chapter 14
Are found in the earth’s crust – the very uppermost part of the earth that is exposed to the surface, or lying immediately below the oceans.

Fossil Formation
The History of Life
The three most common material that fossils form in are sedimentary rock, amber, and ice.
Nearly all fossils are formed in sedimentary rock.
The sediments build up until they cover the organism’s remains.
14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change
Chapter 14
Minerals replace the organic matter or fill the empty pore spaces of the organism.

The Best Crust for Fossils• Sedimentary Rocks are the best crust for
fossil formations;
Example: The Grand Canyon. Strata = Layers of sediment so its called sedimentary rock

The geological time scale is a model that expresses the major geological and biological events in Earth’s history.
The Geologic Time Scale
The History of Life
The geologic time scale is divided into the Precambrian time and the Phanerozoic eon.
Eras of the Phanerozoic eon include the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.
Each era is divided into one or more periods.

Era word roots
• Geologist use the clues in some of these words. • For example:
– zoic refers to animal life
– paleo means ancient
– meso means middle,
– ceno means recent.
• So the relative order of the three youngest eras, first Paleoozoic, then Mesozoic, then Cenoozoic, is straightforward.

Nearly 90 percent of Earth’s entire history, stretching from the formation of Earth to the beginning of the Paleozoic era about 542 million years ago

The ancestors of most major animal groups diversified in what scientists call the Cambrian explosion.
The Paleozoic Era
The History of Life
Life in the oceans continued to evolve at the end of the Cambrian period.
Fish, land plants, and insects appeared during the Ordovician and Silurian periods.
The first tetrapods emerged in the Devonian.

The History of Life
A mass extinction ended the Paleozoic era at the end of the Permian period.
Between 60 and 75 percent of the land species alive went extinct and 96 of all marine species. Why were marine organisms more affected?
14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change
Chapter 14
The greatest of the five major mass extinctions was the Permian Mass Extinction . The five major mass extinctions: Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic and Cretaceous.

The Mesozoic Era (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous)
The History of Life
Mammals and dinosaurs first appeared late in the Triassic period, and flowering plants evolved from nonflowering plants.
Birds evolved from a group of predatory dinosaurs in the middle of the Jurassic period.
About 65 million years ago, a meteorite struck Earth. A hypothesis that this resulted in the K/T Mass Extinction ending the Cretaceous Period.

Plate tectonics describes the movement of several large plates that make up the surface of Earth.
The History of Life
These plates, some of which contain continents, move atop a partially molten layer of rock underneath them.

14.2 The Origin of Life
Origins: Early Ideas
The History of Life
Spontaneous generation is the mistaken idea that life arises from non-life.
Francesco Redi, an Italian scientist, tested the idea that flies arose spontaneously from rotting meat.

Origins: Modern Ideas
The History of Life
Simple organic molecule formation
The primordial soup hypothesis was an early hypothesis about the origin of life.
Organic molecules could have been synthesized from simple reactions.
UV light from the Sun and electric discharge in lightning might have been the primary energy sources to start the chemical reactions of gases in early atmosphere.

Stanley Miller and Harold Urey were the first to show that simple organic molecules could be made from inorganic compounds.

Later, scientists found that hydrogen cyanide could be formed from even simpler molecules in simulated early Earth environments.

The Endosymbiont Theory
The History of Life
The ancestors of eukaryotic cells lived in association with prokaryotic cells.
The relationship between the cells became mutually beneficial, and the prokaryotic symbionts became organelles in eukaryotic cells.
This theory explains the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria.
14.2 The Origin of Life
Chapter 14
Three properties of chloroplasts and mitochondria shared with prokaryotes: circular DNA, similar ribosomes, reproduced by fission.
