சுருக்கம்

When plotted on a logarithmic graph, 15 separate lists of key events in human history show an exponential trend. Lists prepevents. There is a clear trend of smooth acceleration through biological evolution and then technological evolution.

Created by en:Ray Kurzweil, this graph is based on data compiled by en:Theodore Modis, who "attempted to develop a precise mathematical law that governs the evolution of change and complexity in the Universe". To reduce bias, he compiled thirteen multiple independent lists of major events in the history of biology and technology from the following sources:

1. en:John R. Skoyles, Dorian Sagan, Up From Dragons: The Evolution of Human Intelligence, Ballantine Books, 1989, exact dates provided by Modis.
2. American Museum of Natural History, exact dates provided by Modis.
