La fresque des temps géologiques a été présentée dans l’article « Le temps ? Toute une histoire ! » , il s’agit ici de donner des informations complémentaires sur cette seconde déclinaison [ 1 ].
All life on Earth evolved from a single-celled organism that lived roughly 3.5 billion years ago, a new study seems to confirm. The study supports the widely held "universal common ancestor" theory first proposed by Charles Darwin more than 150 years ago. ( Pictures: "Seven Major 'Missing Links' Since Darwin." )

A discovery of a huge number of soft-bodied marine animal fossils is giving these critters a fair shake in the fossil record. Paleontologists found more than 1,500 soft-bodied marine animal fossils, some dating to nearly 500 million years ago. The discovery provides a more complete understanding of marine life at that time and suggests that these soft-bodied sea animals did not die off during a major extinction event during the Cambrian period, as previously thought.
