More than 99 percent of all species that ever lived (over five billion) [1] are estimated to be extinct. [2] [3] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [4] with about 1.2 million or 14% documented, the rest not yet described. [5]
It took 4.5 billion years for intelligent life to evolve on Earth, and life as we know it will see suitable conditions for 1 [16] to 2.3 [17] billion years more. Red dwarfs, by contrast, could live for trillions of years, as their nuclear reactions are far slower than those of larger stars, [a] meaning that life would have longer to evolve and ...
The history of life on Earth traces the processes by which living and extinct organisms evolved, from the earliest emergence of life to the present day. Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago (abbreviated as Ga, for gigaannum) and evidence suggests that life emerged prior to 3.7 Ga. [1] [2] [3] The similarities among all known present-day species indicate that they have diverged through the ...
The Life Clock is a concept by Bertrand Planes that is marked in sevens up to eighty-four, with a mechanism slowed down 61,320 times. Each number represents a year, and a full rotation is made each 84 years (12x7=84). This was the maximum average lifespan in Europe in 2006. The numbers on a Life clock are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70 ...
The telomeric region of DNA does not code for any protein; it is simply a repeated code on the end region of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. After many divisions, the telomeres reach a critical length and the cell becomes senescent. It is at this point that a cell has reached its Hayflick limit. [12] [13]
[5] [6] As of 2019, Round 1 plans to expand at a rate of 10 stores per year. [7] [1] [8] [9] The brand also plans to open stores in the Asia-Pacific region. There is currently a location open in China, and a former location in Russia, which was divested in 2022. [10]

In human populations, generation time typically has ranged from 20 to 30 years, with wide variation based on gender and society. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Historians sometimes use this to date events, by converting generations into years to obtain rough estimates of time.
