#TIL there was a billion years of #history on this planet that just wasn't terribly interesting. Thankfully we live in a much more interesting span of a billion years #boringbillion #time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring_Billion
#DidYouKnow: The #BoringBillion is the time period between 1.8 and 0.8 billion years ago (Ga) spanning the middle Proterozoic eon.
The period is believed to mark a delay in the evolution of complex life, primarily due to low levels of oxygen in the atmosphere.
