Abstract
The life forms and their relationships to the environment are constantly changing. The time difference of geologic changes to man-made changes is so large that in a person’s life only the man-made changes are visible. We distinguish therefore between the geologic development in a period of more than 500 million years since the Cambrian and the changes of the centuries even decades produced by man. The pre-Cambrian era is worthless because no morphologic fossils are known from this era due to the fact that they were destroyed by metamorphosis of the sediments.
