The Ages of the World

The Ages of the World broadly refer to the various phases of Earth's history, often categorized into geological time periods. These include the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. Each era marks significant events like the formation of the Earth, the rise of complex life, the age of dinosaurs, and the development of mammals and humans. Scientists study rock layers and fossils to understand these ages, helping us learn about Earth's evolution, climate changes, and biological history. This framework allows us to contextualize our planet's past in an organized manner.
