What's here?
For no other reason than I thought it may be useful, I have assembled here a collection of charts and timelines covering topics in science and history. The charts available will be expanded regularly.
These charts and timelines may be of interest to:
- home-schoolers
- people interested in evolution and biology
- those with an interest in history
The current charts are supplied as pdf files. Currently, each is a multi-page file, suitable for printing on two or more A4 pages. You have to print out the A4 sheets and stick them together. Sorry about that. As I get more savvy, I will provide more sophisticated versions.
Have a question about the charts?
Got a question? We love hearing your suggestions for improvement and queries. Email us at We change this address periodically as an anti-spam measure. You can always get the current address from this page.
Science Charts and Evolutionary Tree of Life Charts
Here we have a whole bunch of evolutionary tree of life charts. I became interested in phylogenetics and biology a few years ago, and for my own interest decided to make a few trees-of-life, just to keep clear in my own head the current state of biological thinking from the Eucarya to the Primata.
I am not a biologist, just an interested spectator, so I claim no authority for these charts. I've picked up bits and pieces from Paleos; that immensely unreliable source, the Wikipedia; and stuff from Thomas Cavalier-Smith's work.
History Timelines
Here are our first historical timelines:
- The Presidents of the United States of America. Includes party affiliation, and each president's ranking by quartile, from best, to mediocre, to worst.
- The Chronicles of the Old Testament. A timeline with all the Old Testament kings and prophets.
- The History of Early Christianity. A timeline with all the Church Fathers and early Christian heresies.
- The Roman emperors. The best timeline available of the Roman emperors.
