Add graphic showcasing evolution of life #270

I am not sure i understand the scaling on your timeline? you normalize earth age to 1 year? IMO it would be clearer if you put 20M years ago etc... I promise I will not be asking for a log scale 🤓 |

Not sure this is clearer than showing millions of years… I see why you are trying to say but I need to think about it.

I got the idea from Ed Young's book "I contain multitudes". I kind of like it as it shows how recent all human innovation has been. Also shows how lonely the planet has been for some time. My plan is to add another one with 12000 BC till now once this PR is merged 😅

Have you tried to also have non scaled dates maybe in a different colour?
I would also add some key dates like Pangea (you already have dinosaurs extinction). Just an idea.

Pangea is a funny idea 👍 . Just not sure I can fit more into that one chart 😅

Also - TLDR - it was that recent the continents formed 😅

@cedounet thanks for the Feedback! I fixed most of the issues 👍 . As a basis to calculate I used: "(4.54 billion years / 12 months = 0.3785 billion years/month". I also added it as a comment in the code 😎 |

You might want to reword your dates as well to match American style https://editorsmanual.com/articles/dates-american-vs-british/ this is pretty much what I have in the Chicago manual of style… not ordinals. if we ever want to translate then we should use datetime2 package. I would use it anyway as I would get the date format wrong without looking on the inter webs. |

Sweet! Thanks for the tip. I updated - hope I didn't miss something. |

Thanks! I fixed the issues. Also added pangea and squeezed it in. Awesome idea. Can you check one more time please? Thank you! |

Maybe run make check on it
I would add the scaling bottom left of the graph… 1 quarter represents 1
billion year about.

As discussed, just added the time indicators to the chart. Or do you have a better idea to place them? 
|

I really like it now.

Great idea 🙏🏻

@cedounet what do you think? I also didn't want to overdo the colors. 
|

Yeah it's a matter of balance... LGTM, we can always fine-tune later anyway. |
* Add graphic showcasing evolution of life * Add PR Feedback * Add comment * Update date format * Fix small mistakes * Add pangea, rewrite intro * Fix citation, improve intro. Thanks alanblue * Add indicator for full span and months * Color improvements
After reading a really good book by Ed Young on microorganism I figured I update the history of sourdough bread a bit more.
