This timeline has colourful illustrations to help children visualise the events and clear, easy-to-digest information that children can follow.

Sprinkled throughout are facts about the synths, such as noting that the Jupiter 6 was used by Ray Parker Junior for the Ghostbusters' bassline, or the fact that Joy Division relied heavily on the relatively unknown Transcendent 2000 for Unknown Pleasures.

Solo Man, 100,000–50,000 years old; described as an extinct Asian "race" of H. sapiens (now considered a sub-species of H. erectus) Proterozoic - and the second half! The oldest fossils in the world come from this time, as fungi, simple plants, bacteria and small animals started to emerge due to plentiful oxygen. Modern humans are a type of ape, the same family of species as gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees, although we belong to a different group that split off from the others called Hominids. Modern humans, which are officially called "homo sapiens" are the only surviving type of hominid alive today, but there used to be a wide range of different hominid species. Unlike other apes, hominids evolved over time to be able to stand on two legs, rather than on four. This meant that our hands were free to carry tools, and we could stand up to look around for predators - although over time, we became much worse at climbing than the other apes.
