A great variety and magnificence of life is presented, with each organism a contributor to a vast cosmic scheme. It traces the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and the Cainozoic periods, beginning with the kingdom of Trilobites and ending with the human being.
The Montessori guide indicates on a time line where vertebrates began, followed by fish and plants, then amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Part of the cosmic education curriculum, the evolution time line is the basis for lessons in chemistry, nutrition, categories of animals and plants, care and requirements of different animals, and their interrelationship with an ecological system and by working with this set the child is introduced to formal scientific language of zoology, botany, and anthropology.
