The sea
During the late Precambrian, about 560 million years ago, the first confirmed macroscopic multicellular organisms appeared. Around 558 million years ago, the first mollusk, Kimberella,appeared in the fossil record.

Examples of primitive arthropods might include the trilobite, thought to have made an appearance in the pre-Cambrian period about 500 million years ago. The fossil record indicates they were highly diverse with well over 10,000 species and thrived for over 250 million years, but finally going extinct around the end of the Permian period. Another great example might be the Eurypterid or sea scorpion, a paleozoic arthropod believed to predate the earliest fish. Of those still alive, the peripatus (a genus of the velvet worms) would be a serious contender, primitive in origins and considered the simplest known arthropod, a 'living fossil' dating back 570 million years and thought to be a connecting link between the arthropods and annelids (segmented round worms, like the earthworm).
10 million years since our first ancestors and about 250 thousand years for man as you know. 1000 years since we have started to eat our planet to waste.
No, mammals lived alongside dinosaurs and their earliest known fossils of about 200 million years old are almost contemporary with the early dinosaur fossils.
Around 400 million years ago, in the Devonian, the age of sharks and early amphibians.
Life first appeared on land around 500 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. Plants and some arthropods were among the first organisms to colonize terrestrial habitats, followed by amphibians and eventually reptiles.
The first plants with spores, which indicates that they were land plants, appeared in the Middle Ordovician period, about 470 million years ago. First records of tetrapods, or land animals, show up in the fossil record around 370 million years ago.
Arthropods have adapted to life on land, at sea, and in the air. They are invertebrates that includes insects, crustaceans, and arachnids. Some examples of arthrpods are ants, lobsters, and spiders.
