"Life on Earth from it's Origin to Present Day"

Today, it's easy to take the sheer diversity of life on Earth for granted and view it as an inevitable outcome of physical laws---but is it? We will explore this question by tracing an abridged history of life from the primordial chemical and physical processes believed to start it, to the key steppingstones in complex evolution, to the events that led to modern humans.
