I think that this encapsulation of Earth’s history scaled to 24 hours should be taught in high school.  An understanding of the staggering amount of time that has been part of the evolution of Earth’s life forms, seems to me to be critical to the understanding of actual processes of how evolution has worked.

On a related thought:

One thing that I think of, when I considered that only the last 6 seconds total of ours and our hominid ancestors have been present in the fauna of Earth, is, Wow! how many other 6 second periods out of the 24 hours, involved previous species who thrived and became the apex intelligent species in the world, and then disappeared in other 6 second periods earlier in that 24 hour period?
