300–600 million The estimated time for Venus's mantle temperature to reach its maximum. Then, over a period of about 100 million years, major subduction occurs and the crust is recycled. [74] 350 million According to the extroversion model first developed by Paul F. Hoffman, subduction ceases in the Pacific Ocean Basin. [69] [75] 400–500 ...
The last common ancestor of all extant eukaryotes is thought to have lived around 1.8 billion years ago. Around 800 million years ago, there was a notable increase in the complexity and number of eukaryotes species in the fossil record. [133] Before the spike in diversity, eukaryotes are thought to have lived in highly sulfuric environments.
The Pan-African orogeny was a series of major Neoproterozoic orogenic events which related to the formation of the supercontinents Gondwana and Pannotia about 600 million years ago. [1] This orogeny is also known as the Pan-Gondwanan or Saldanian Orogeny. [2]
For years, scientists have estimated that LUCA likely arrived on the scene some 4 billion years, which is only 600 million years after the planet’s formation. But a new study from an ...
Most scientists agree that complex life likely formed during the Ediacaran Period some 600 million years ago—right on the cusp of the well-known Cambrian Explosion.
Two species are described in the literature: A. ramidus, which lived about 4.4 million years ago [32] during the early Pliocene, and A. kadabba, dated to approximately 5.6 million years ago [33] (late Miocene). A. ramidus had a small brain, measuring between 300 and 350 cm 3.
