Major events in the evolution of amino acid synthesis
The way amino acids are synthesized has changed during the history of Earth. The Hadean eon represents the time from which Earth first formed. The subsequent Archean eon (approximately 3,500 million years ago) is known as the age of bacteria and archaea. The Proterozoic eon was the gathering up of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere, and the Phanerozoic eon coincides with the major diversification of animals, plants, and fungi.
