Evidence for age of earth
Chapter 5: Interpreting Earth’s History
Very simple forms of life first appeared about 3.8 BILLION years ago! (But, the earth and solar system began about 4.6 BILLION years ago.) Humans represent just 1/10th of 1% of the earth’s age. Our ape-like ancestors probably arose in Africa about 4 million years ago.

When Darwin left, the world was thought to be about 6000 years old and that humans had essentially existed since the beginning. Darwin’s contemporary Lyell suggested the Earth was millions of years old based on geological processes. We now know the Earth to be closer to four and a half billion years old.

Jan 30, 2012 · Interpreting the age of the fossil and the environmental conditions of the prehistoric organism is even more challenging. Fossils are the best type of evidence that exists about our planet's geologic history. They are also very rare. Most dead plants and animals are decomposed by bacteria or eaten by scavenging animals.

Earth’s early atmosphere (when life first appears in the fossil record) most likely consisted of CO 2, H 2 O, CO, H 2, N 2, and small amounts of NH 3, H 2 S, and CH 4 – note the lack of O 2, which is a major constituent of today’s atmosphere
