From completing a project, which I did not get to see the final product of yet, I had found many interesting things about the timeline of our Earth's history.
One major thing that I learned was about the extinctions in Earth's history. One such was the
Permian - Triassic Extinction, known as the biggest extinction to happen on Earth. Another was the Cretaceous - Paleocene Extinction, especially known as how the Dinosaurs went extinct. Each and every one happens to be at the end of one era, and at the beginning of another era. What follows these extinctions are new species dominating the other species and rising up, only to later die down.
The other major event that I was very interested into was the making of the Earth. No matter how many times you see this, it never seems to disappoint me when I view the vast scale of the beginning of Earth. Compared to how we humans had shaped Earth, it took so long just to build Earth together.
The timeline was not as shocking as I thought it would be, considering the scale. The most influential events in human history is less or somewhere close to 1% of the Earth's timeline scale.
For humans, the impact we had on the Earth is tremendous. In less than 1 inch in the Earth's timeline, we had made incredible impacts to the Earth, and many others.
