AJ's information report about the beginning of life on our planet

The beginning of life

Three and a half billion years ago life emerged in the oceans. Then 425 million years ago living things started to move on land. Therefore, life first started in the sea. 

The four elements which made life possible are water, air, light and energy. Life began with simple organisms and have evolved throughout time to the complex organisms living today.

Vegetation covered our planet earth and throughout the millions of years an amazing variety of ecosystems and habitats developed.

Different creatures evolved to survive and thrive in different habitats. The creatures have developed strategies to adapt on land, they also evolved as allies, adversaries and enemies. Life has changed throughout the past billion years, creatures went from a blob until it started to form and evolve into full creatures. 

For the past 162 million years Eutherians evolved into primates. Primates learned to hunt, love and fight. Primates lived for about 2 million years before evolving into humans.
