People worry about us destroying life on this planet by our activity. But that's not likely. We might fuck ourselves up, our family--the family of life is just too tough. Just take a look at our family tree, the tree of life, taken from this website. Time is an expanding half-ellipse. The center is the moment of birth of the earth. The appearance of the first life form, the origin point for the tree, is about a half-billion years in--about 3.5 billion years ago. The outer perimeter is the present. Branching lines from the origin to the present are the evolutionary paths that led to a modern creature.
The tree of life, its span and it's strength.
