The Chicxulub impact crater in the Caribbean Sea near the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico indicates an asteroid or comet struck the earth and changed conditions 65 million years ago

Diversity of life & periods of mass extinction
![Page 20: Chapter 26. Origin of Life The historical tree of life can be documented with evidence… 1. Chemicals - CHONP CH 2 O – Carbohydrates CHO – Lipids (fat)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfab1a28abf838c9af23/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Note the suspected causes of the Mass Extinctions
![Page 21: Chapter 26. Origin of Life The historical tree of life can be documented with evidence… 1. Chemicals - CHONP CH 2 O – Carbohydrates CHO – Lipids (fat)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfab1a28abf838c9af23/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Five Major Extinctions – periods of Punctuated Equilibrium:
* Not responsible for names/dates *
• 440 mya Ordovician-Silurian extinction – massive glaciations that locked up much of the world's water as ice and caused sea levels to drop precipitously. The event took its hardest toll on marine organisms such as shelled brachiopods, eel-like conodonts, and the trilobites.
• 360 mya Devonian extinction a drawn-out event eliminated about 70 percent of all marine species from Earth over a span of perhaps 20 million years. Suspect impact, decreased oxygen in oceans, and global cooling. Pulses, each lasting 100,000 to 300,000 years, are noted.
• 250 mya Permian-Triassic extinction beliefs of asteroid or comet, but, again, no crater has been found. Another strong contender is flood volcanism in Russia, or impact-triggered volcanism. Whatever it was, proved to be the deadliest: More than 90 percent of all species perished.
• 200 mya Triassic-Jurassic extinction coincided with massive lava eruptions in central Atlantic. Asteroid impact is also suspected but no telltale crater identified. About 20 percent of all marine families went extinct, as well as most mammal-like creatures, many large amphibians, and all non-dinosaur archosaurs.
• 65 mya Cretaceous extinction - an extraterrestrial impact off Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula and global warming fueled by volcanic eruptions at the Deccan Flats in India coincided with the extinction of dinosaurs, as well as about half of all species on the planet

Robert Whittaker devised 5 Kingdom system Monera Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia

Re-Classifying Life New groupings
molecular data challenges 5 Kingdoms Monera is too diverse
2 distinct lineages of prokaryotes Protists are too diverse
