Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.
Q. What does adding neutrons to atoms make?
Atoms always have an equal number of protons and electrons, and the number of protons and neutrons is usually the same as well. Adding a proton to an atom makes a new element, while adding a neutron makes an isotope, or heavier version, of that atom.

Q. Why do you think neutrons are necessary to make a stable atom?
Electrons are not affected by the nuclear strong force. Without a source for this additional energy the neutron cannot decay. Hence the neutron in a deuteron is stable. But where a neutron is paired with a proton its decay is not energy feasible and thus such neutrons within nuclei are stable.
Q. What are the uses of neutrons?
Neutrons are non-destructive and can penetrate deep into matter. This makes them an ideal probe for biological materials and samples under extreme conditions of pressure, temperature, magnetic field or within chemical reaction vessels. Microscopically Magnetic.
Q. What was the first thing on earth?
Some scientists estimate that ‘life’ began on our planet as early as four billion years ago. And the first living things were simple, single-celled, micro-organisms called prokaryotes (they lacked a cell membrane and a cell nucleus).
Q. How long have humans existed?
about 200,000 years
Q. What if Earth existed for only 24 hours?
If we took the whole 4.6 billion years of planet Earth history and compressed it in 24 hours, meaning that the planet was born at midnight and we were at the next midnight just now, this is what we would have: 23:23 – 37 minutes to midnight (our now), Africa is formed.
Q. What caused an Earth day to go from 12 to 24 hours?
Assuming that Earth’s revolution around our Sun has not changed dramatically, this means that the number of hours per day has been increasing and that Earth’s rotation has been slowing. Today’s day length is 24 hours.
Q. When did humans appear on Earth?
around 66 million years ago
Q. How old is the earth clock?
4.6 billion years
Q. When was the Earth born?
Earth formed from debris orbiting around our sun about 4 ½ billion years ago. That is also the approximate age of the sun, but it is not the beginning of our story. The story really begins with the Big Bang nearly 14 billion years ago, which spewed hydrogen atoms throughout the universe.
