    The document provides a timeline of major events in the evolution of life on Earth from the earliest evidence of life to the emergence of modern humans. It notes key milestones such as the first photosynthesizing bacteria, land plants and vertebrates, dinosaurs, mammals, and primates. It also lists several major extinction events throughout Earth's history including the end-Permian mass extinction where 90% of species became extinct.
