4.6 billion years ago, what kind of life evolution did the earth undergo to give rise to us humans?

So far, Earth is the only planet known to have life in the entire universe, and we humans are only a small and insignificant member of The Earth. So before the birth of mankind, what kind of tribulations did the earth undergo to evolve into what it is today: sea and land, lush vegetation, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, there are all kinds of life individuals, colorful and vibrant?

As a highly intelligent human being on the earth, I think it is necessary for children to understand the formation of the universe, the birth of the earth, and the origin of life, so that they can better look forward to the future, fear nature, and guard our homeland of survival , the earth.

The popular science picture book "Earth 4.6 Billion Years: The Story Before the Emergence of Human Beings" (hereinafter referred to as: The Story of the Earth 4.6 Billion Years) takes the cosmic timeline universe, generation and era as the axis, from the beginning of the formation of the universe to the end of human birth, popularizes the development process of life on the earth from scratch in different periods, and explains to the children the detailed process and details of life from dormancy, evolution and evolution, through the author's scientific and rigorous text and the magnificent picture of the painter, Let children feel the magic of the evolution of the earth and life as if they are immersed, so as to obtain rich scientific knowledge and a natural reverence for natural life.

The scientifically rigorous and interesting text of "4.6 Billion Years of Earth" is written by Martin Jenkins, and the magnificent and vivid illustrations are drawn by the British Kate Greenaway Award winner Graham Baker-Smith, and the combination of the two opens a door for children to open a door to time, leading children back to prehistoric times, starting from the formation of the Big Bang in the universe, following the evolution of the earth to witness the rise and fall of life on earth.

The popular science picture book "4.6 Billion Years of the Earth" is a large folio, printed in large characters, which looks very comfortable. It is worth mentioning that the illustrations in "4.6 Billion Years of the Earth" not only give people a strong visual impact in the magnificent and colorful colors, but also the strange shapes and variety of ancient creatures also make the painter Smith depict vivid, vivid and vivid, and the whole picture gives people a kind of movie-like textured picture, which makes people can't help but be immersed in it, bringing children a reading experience witnessed through time and space. And the unique antique tone is not only pleasing to the eye, but also makes people feel a sense of awe, it seems that every page is the beginning of a long-buried history.

In addition, "4.6 Billion Years of Earth" has a large cross-fold page, traveling back in time in the form of a timeline, detailing the first 2 billion years of Earth and the classification of organisms. And the upper left and right corners of each page are intimately marked with a year, so that children can establish a timeline in their minds during the reading process, and connect the major events that occurred in the time period to facilitate understanding.

The text of "4.6 Billion Years of the Earth" is easy to understand, the writing is simple and simple, and it can interpret the boring knowledge of life interestingly, although there are many terms in the book, it is not difficult to understand, and the author intimately attaches a glossary of terms and a clear geological year representative on the last page. For scientific rigor, the author, Martin Jenkins, consulted hundreds of scientific papers and invited paleontologists to review them word for word, and the translators were also scholars of paleontology.

After reading this popular science book, I have to marvel at the greatness and smallness of life, it turns out that in the beginning, about 9 billion years ago, the universe was also a void and chaotic, and the earth was formed 4.57 billion years ago, and the origin of life was about 9 billion years later, so a new evolution of life was staged, and after such a long period of time, we humans appeared 4.5 million years ago...

Such a long history, if you come together, you can't say it all, but the author has grasped the major events that occurred at key points in time to explain them one by one: the formation of the universe, the formation of the sun, the first ice age, the second ice time... It also focuses on the key nodes of evolution: symmetrical molluscs, the earliest fish, the development of terrestrial life, fish landings, four-legged journeys... It also details the similarities and differences of various life forms, and gradually helps children understand what life is. Who are the ancestors of living animals? When did they appear? And what role do all kinds of strange archaeopteries that we humans have never seen play in the long history of life? ...... And so on a series of mysteries.

"4.6 Billion Years of the Earth" made me feel that life is not easy to come by, and that every life form has its own meaning. And we humans are just a small member of the long river of life, and the way we look now is the evolution of how many hardships life has gone through. Human beings have never existed in isolation, we depend on the harmony of other living beings and the whole world, and any life has its own unique value, and human beings are inseparable from them. Therefore, as human beings, in addition to living in the present, we should also learn to respect life, fear nature, and guard the homeland on which we live - the earth!
