- According to theory, it took place about 13.7 billion years ago.

 * 3) Does the universe continue to expand?**

- Experts says no but there is a continues expansion of our universe.
 * 4) Was there really a big bang?**

**Ten notes or more from the playlist video**
- Earth is a world of destruction and renewal. It uses destruction to renew and remake Earth. - Precambrian was named after Cambrian, Wales because they found clues and fossils in there about this era. It is also the longest era of Earth's history. - Precambrian was the longest era but only bacteria and algae lived in this era. - Paleozoic was the era of geological time because fishes and other reptiles appeared in this era. Second longest era of earth's history. - Fish, reptiles, and insects were the first species to live on Earth during Paleozoic era, not dinosaurs. - Mesozoic was the third longest era before Paleozoic where dinosaurs ruled. A meteor hit in this era that killed all dinosaurs into extinction. - Cenozoic was the latest era where mammals ruled the Earth. - 650 million years in the future, all the continents will unite together. OH NO!!! - Continents and plates under the ocean move through time and they are not permanent. - Scientist uses SONAR to look deep into the oceans and figured out that beneath it is ridges like the ones on a baseball. They also found mountains in chains. - Ocean ridges have patterns that causes earthquakes around the world and also results the shifting of our continents.

**My Questions**
- Did we evolved from shrews to monkeys then humans? - Is there any chance that all humans can extinct 650 million years from now because of plates moving? - Are the insects back in Paleozoic era big or the same size as today?

Part two- significant evolution
__**Lucy (homid) **__- Is the common name of AL 288-1, several hundred pieces of bone representing about 40% of the skeleton of an individualAustralopithecus afarensis. Lucy was discovered at 1974. FACT: One of Lucy's most striking characteristics is a [|valgus knee]. [|__http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_%28Australopithecus%29__]

__**Fossils**__- Are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past. Example. Leaving a wood for millions of years will cause [| Permineralization] that will turn the wood into a rock.

__**Charles Darwin**__-An English naturalist. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestry, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching patterns of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He was born Feb. 12, 1809 and died at Apr. 19, 1882. FACT: In 1851 Darwin was devastated when his daughter [|Annie] died. By then his faith in Christianity had dwindled, and he had stopped going to church. He lost his faith in God.

FACT: In the early 20th century, archeologist and geologist were largely limited to the use of relative dating techniques to determine the geological events. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_dating http://www.google.ca/url?source=imglanding&ct=img&q=http:www.uwstout.edu/faculty/scotta/images/geology_prof2_1.jpg&sa=X&ei=PSBhT4WAKpO30QHB1_zaBw&ved=0CAkQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNH0qsQmSHHfYQUqgsoa1NVp2d5NTw
 * __Relative Dating Technique__- **is the science determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age.

FACT: One of the most widely used and well-known absolute dating techniques is carbon-14 (or [|radiocarbon]) dating, which is used to date organic remains. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_dating http://www.scienceclarified.com/photos/dating-techniques-3116.jpg
 * __Absolute Dating Techniques __- ** is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms //chronometric// or //calendar// dating, as use of the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted certainty and precision. Absolute dating provides a computed numerical age in contrast with relative dating which provides only an order of events.

__**Palaeontology **__**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- ** is the study of prehistoric life "ancient life". It includes the study of fossils to determine organisms' evolution and interactions with each other and their environments (their paleontology). Example Estimating the dates of these remains is essential but difficult: sometimes adjacent rock layers allow [|radiometric dating], which provides absolute dates that are accurate to within 0.5%, but more often palaeontologists have to rely on relative dating by solving the "[|jigsaw puzzles]" of [|biostratigraphy]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/sites/www.nrcan.gc.ca.earth-sciences/files/images/org/calgary/research/images/tripr.jpg

The period lasted roughly 2.5 million years, and ended between 4500 and 2000 BC with the advent of metalworking. FACT: [|Bone tools] were used during this period as well, but are more rarely preserved in the archaeological record. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_age http://www.any.biz/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Stone_Age1.jpg

It is the capital of the Jericho Governorate and has a population of more than 20,000. Situated well below sea level on an east-west route 16 kilometres (10 mi) north of the Dead Sea.

It was the wide-scale transition of many human cultures from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement. Archaeological data indicates that various forms of plants and animal domestication evolved independently in six separate locations worldwide circa 10,000–7000 years BP (8,000–5,000 BC).
