If the Earth was 24 hours old, how old would humankind be?

Ever wondered what the beginning of existence would look like if it was tracked and measured in a 24-hour clock?

 

What if we charted the history of earth on a clock? When and where did humankind come into existence during the creation of life? Strange questions, right?

 

The team at One Clock experimented with this by condensing all the information about the history of earth into a 24-hour time period. The findings were very interesting!

Humans have existed only for 77 seconds!

 

Let’s try to see what the Earth Clock would look like through a very cool infographic that shows just how old the Earth can possibly be.
History of earth in 24 hours

> If midnight marks the formation of Earth on the clock, dinosaurs, mammals and humans would be last in the line of creation.

> In fact human history doesn’t begin until 11:58:43 p.m!

> It’s interesting to notice that even the simplest forms of life didn’t exist until 4 a.m.

> Dinosaurs lived and died in almost 30 minutes!

Doesn’t it make one realise how truly vast the existence of earth is and humans are just such a tiny part of it.

 

This interesting experiment gives rise to a lot of food for thought……What happens when the clock strikes 12 a.m. again?

Would evolutionary changes lead to the creation of superhumans?

If there happens to exist life on other planets in other solar systems of the Universe, could aliens visit our beautiful planet?

Share this interesting infographic with your friends to give them a useful insight into human existence and future possibilities. Also, share with us your thoughts on the same! 🙂
