Evolution Test - 88

The Cretaceous is defined as the period between 145.5 and 65.5 million years ago, the last period of the Mesozoic Era, following the Jurassic and ending with the extinction of the dinosaurs (except birds).

The Azoic Era was the oldest and longest-lasting stage in the development of planet Earth when there was no life, made of many layers of sedimentary rock these sedimentary rocks contain fossilized remains of  plants and animals very little oxygen, the ground had a reddish tint, seas were thought to be green for there was a lack of oxygen. 

This time span is isolated into three geologic periods. Following the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic expanded about 186 million years, from 251.902 to 66 million years prior when the Cenozoic Era started. 

So, the correct option is 'Palaeozoic → Mesozoic → Cenozoic'.

Apes arose and diversified during the Miocene, becoming widespread in the old world. By the end of this epoch, the ancestors of humans had split away from the ancestors of the chimpanzees to follow their own evolutionary path (7.6 to 5.6 million years ago). So, the correct answer is "Miocene".

The reason for the mass termination that denotes the finish of the Cretaceous and the start of the Paleogene is a logical riddle. The annihilation wiped out the dinosaurs while most warm-blooded creatures, turtles, crocodiles, lizards, and frogs endure. 

The evolution of bird began in Jurassic period with the earliest bird derived from a clade of theropod dinosaurs named paraves. Mammals appeared on the earth long before the extinction of the dinosaurs; in fact, dinosaurs and mammals originated within 10 million years of each other, in the late Triassic about 200 million years ago. 

The main genuine endeavours to figure a geologic time scale that could be connected anyplace on Earth were made in the late eighteenth century. The most powerful of those early endeavours (supported by Werner, among others). The distinguishing proof of strata by the fossils they contained, spearheaded by William Smith, Georges Cuvier, Jean d'Omalius d'Halloy, and Alexandre Brongniart in the mid-nineteenth century, empowered geologists to separate Earth history. 

So, the correct option is 'Georges Caviar'.

Amid the Mesozoic Era, life broadened quickly and monster reptiles, dinosaurs, and different tremendous brutes meandered the Earth. The period, which ranges from around 252 million years back to around 66 million years prior, was otherwise called the time of reptiles or the time of dinosaurs.

The idea of the "light of evolution" came initially from the vitalist Jesuit minister Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, whom Dobzhansky much admired. The expression of the statement has come into regular use by those contradicting creationism or its variation called shrewd structure. 

So, the correct option is 'Chardin'.
