8. The Anthropocene & Present
The spiral culminates with Homo sapiens. Our species' impact causes biodiversity loss & rapid, human-accelerated climate change.

7. The Cambrian Explosion
The Cambrian Explosion sparks a burst of complex multicellular life in the oceans. Life later moves to land. A meteor causes dinosaur extinction.

6. The Oxygen Revolution
Cyanobacteria cause the Oxygen Revolution ~2.4B years ago. Endosymbiosis leads to complex cells with organelles like chloroplasts.

5. Origin of Life & Early Earth
Life begins with LUCA & DNA. Early photosynthesis evolves as global oceans and tectonic plates shape the young Earth.

4. Formation of the Solar System
A molecular cloud collapses into a protoplanetary disk. The Sun ignites, planets form, and the massive Theia impact creates our Moon.

3. Galactic Maturation
Our Milky Way & Andromeda galaxies mature. Local stars like Alpha Centauri form. Dark energy overtakes gravity, accelerating cosmic expansion.

2. The Cosmic Dawn
The cosmic Dark Age ends. The first stars ignite, quasars peak, and the earliest globular clusters and spiral galaxies begin to form.
