    The document provides information about the history of life on Earth through a multiple choice evaluation. It asks questions about geological eras and timescales, the organisms that dominated at different periods, and major geological events. Prokaryotes such as bacteria dominated the longest period of Earth's history. The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. 100,000 years would be considered a very small fraction of geological time. Understanding geological time helps explain the evolution of organisms over time. [/SUMMARY]
