∙ 14y agoThe word paleozoic comes from the Greek "Palaio" which means ancient and "zoion/zoe" which means animals or life.
It literally means ancient life.
It was coined by Adam Sedgwick in the early 19th Century. At this time it was thought that this was the earliest life on earth. He was also a very religious man and a great opponent to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
