CHANCE

1) Bacteria thrive and multiply.


2) Certain chemicals allow plants to convert sunshine to food.
3) Animal cells become good at traveling and catching food.
4) Cells start specializing and joining into even bigger and better species.
5) Oxygen piles up in the atmosphere.
6) Land dries up.


7) Climates change. Slower thinkers die out.


8) Humans take over.

SELECTION

The ability to adapt makes these creatures the best bet for advancement.
More direct use of energy from the sun.
Motion is another form of energy.

Efficiency is the name of the energy game.

Animals using oxygen beat out some of the lower forms.
Plants and animals move ashore (more than once). Millions of varieties can be tried.
Bigger-brained animals start developing technology: fire and clubs, a more efficient way to use wood rather than letting it rot.
The jury still wonders if this was a good move or not.

Efficient energy use also drives the evolution of life.
