Human evolution after 550 million years

Jurien Moller is a Dutch design artist with a passion for science. Recently, he designed a book that describes the entire human evolution in 550 million years. The book is about 30m long and has been turned into an interesting animated video.

With just over 1 minute in length, this video has vividly demonstrated human evolution in the past with a full range of species. With his drawings, Jurien Moller will help viewers understand how humans today can come from an amphibian reptile that can live underwater.

Before watching the video, you can learn about this evolution through this chronological table.

1. 550 million years ago, human ancestors were just a single-celled animal in the sea. Over 100 million years of breeding and evolution, this single-celled species has formed other parts such as spine, fin . to look like the current fish species.
2. About 70 million years later, in order to improve the quality of life, this fish has added small limbs formed from the fins on their bodies to be able to finish feeding. From this point on, the aquatic species became the official amphibian.
3. 100 million years later, due to the harsh underwater life, the amphibians continued to evolve, losing the characteristics of an aquatic animal to become a terrestrial reptile , living with dinosaurs. .
4. After more than 400 million years have passed, that is about 100 million years ago, the human form of large rodent species with a large tail and fuzzy fur. Human ancestors exist in this form for a long time.
5. 90 million years later, new human ancestors took the form of apes and began to stand upright with their legs and evolve into modern humans .
