Want to see how short humans’ time on Earth has been, comparatively? Check out the scrollable Evolutionary Timeline, where each horizontal inch (on a 1024×768 display) represents 2 million years. The entire thing is 135 feet wide.
Note: the timeline is incomplete, and the Notes section under the timeline is utter bunk (”I think the process of evolution emphasizes the magnificance of life-energy, or creationary power.”). But it’s still cool.
