 Insects are the most diverse group of organisms in the 3 billion-year history of life on Earth, and the most ecologically dominant animals on land.

The long fossil record of life provides scientists with crucial information about when species became extinct, which species were most vulnerable to extinction, and what processes may have brought about extinctions in the geological past.

The Age of the Earth |
 Historical time would be difficult to grasp were it not subdivided into an orderly progression of events and epochs that we recognise as civilisations and cultures, reigns and revolutions. Geological time, almost inconceivable in its vastness, is even more in need of this sort of subdivision if we are to comprehent the age of the earth.
