Anthropocene as a proposed new time interval of Earth history, partly coincident with the Holocene. Currently, the Anthropocene has an informal designation, with a proposed age span extending from the present to a beginning point between ca. 15,000 yr B.P. and as recent as 1960 CE.
The principal chart shows the Phanerozoic (Cambrian to Quaternary) timescale. The names of the individual periods are links: each one leads to a more detailed chart showing the epochs and ages for that period.

Table of geologic time. The following table summarises the major events and characteristics of the divisions making up the geologic time scale of Earth. This table is arranged with the most recent geologic periods at the top, and the oldest at the bottom.
Use this infographic to explore the evolution of Earth and the life upon it. 300,000 years ago: The first “modern” human—Homo sapiens—evolves in Africa. 6.5 million years ago: Hominins—early ancestors of humans—evolve from the other primates. 60 million years ago: The first primates appear.
The scale of geologic time is vast, currently estimated at nearly 4.6 billion years. During that time, life evolved into the familiar forms we see today. These materials are provided to assist in understanding time relationships and how life on Earth changed through time.
