Inception

There is a beginning to every aspect of life, acknowledging your existence, building trust with your own, learning your capabilities & so on. Widening the frame of reference leads us to the build of the society itself, various unwritten rules that are religiously followed and/or not followed, foundation of principles distinguishing the right from wrong and the list continues. Going a little further backwards would get us to the inception of human civilization.

Over the years, the field of science has claimed many breakthroughs about the evolution, about how it all came into existence, the life as we know it. The facts so far, suggest that our planet is around four & a half billion years old, a huge sphere with extremely high temperatures with no life. Over a period of first billion years, the temperature came down and further got down low to negative degrees in the next one. By the end of it, the humongous sphere turned crystal; the majority of the terrain was covered with thick sheets of ice. It would have been in the same state, if it weren’t for the volcanoes. One among the deadliest eruptions took place during this period that eventually melted down into huge water bodies all across the globe. And thus began life, in the form of unicellular organisms.

It is quite surprising to acknowledge the fact that the ancestors of all the species could be bacteria, fungus or other families of single celled organisms. The evolution began from single to multi-cellular and so on to form much more complex organisms, currently known as the ancient aquatic creatures from 600 million years ago. From the waters, these creatures evolved into animals on land & thus, to people.
