In The Origin of Species he explained that the inhabitants of each quarter of the world will obviously tend to leave in that quarter closely allied though modified descendants. Before the start of the Cambrian period about 550 million years ago multicellular organisms lacked hard parts like shells and bones and rarely left fossils. However a few pre-Cambrian organisms left traces of their existence. Some ancient rocks contain stromatolites the remnants of bacteria that grew in columns like stacked pancakes right . Above a fossil just predating the Cambrian shows the outlines of a marine invertebrate that might have resembled a jellyfish. A timeline of evolution demonstrates the tremendous expanse of geologic time compared to the period since humans evolved. Each higher scale details part of the scale beneath it. While the estimated times of various evolutionary events continue to change as new fossils are discovered and dating methods are refined the overall sequence demonstrates both the scope and grandeur of evolutionary change.
