Add graphic showcasing evolution of life

After reading a really good book by Ed Young on microorganism I figured I update the history of sourdough bread a bit more.

I am not sure i understand the scaling on your timeline? you normalize earth age to 1 year? IMO it would be clearer if you put 20M years ago etc...

I promise I will not be asking for a log scale 🤓

@cedounet thanks for the Feedback! I fixed most of the issues 👍 . As a basis to calculate I used: "(4.54 billion years / 12 months = 0.3785 billion years/month". I also added it as a comment in the code 😎

You might want to reword your dates as well to match American style https://editorsmanual.com/articles/dates-american-vs-british/

this is pretty much what I have in the Chicago manual of style… not ordinals.

if we ever want to translate then we should use datetime2 package. I would use it anyway as I would get the date format wrong without looking on the inter webs.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip. I updated - hope I didn't miss something. datetime2 sounds like a good idea too. Let me see if I can add this with the next PR for the sourdough human timeline.

Thanks! I fixed the issues. Also added pangea and squeezed it in. Awesome idea. Can you check one more time please? Thank you!

[hendricius]

Great idea 👍. Also thanks for the hint on make check.

Maybe run make check on it

I would add the scaling bottom left of the graph… 1 quarter represents 1 billion year about.

As discussed, just added the time indicators to the chart. Or do you have a better idea to place them?

[cedounet]

I really like it now.

1. Have you tried to use colours? That I think would make it less packed
2. I would use double arrows <--> for ranges.

[hendricius]

Great idea 🙏🏻

@cedounet what do you think? I also didn't want to overdo the colors.

[cedounet]

Yeah it's a matter of balance... LGTM, we can always fine-tune later anyway.
