Extinction is an intrinsic part of the evolution of new species, and is a direct consequence of the forces of natural selection. However, unlike the divergence of species (a process called speciation), one or more species can go extinct at variable rates. For example, marsupial mammals disappeared (from the larger continents)over a long period of time as they lost out to placental mammals. However, most species today disappear at alarmingly rapid rates because of the loss of their habitat.

The Precambrian Period lasted for about 4 billion years and ended about 600,000,000 years ago. It is the earliest geological period and is divided into the Archaeozoic and Proterozoic epochs. It was during this time that earliest forms of life were assumed to be just starting off on earth. The fossil record does not extend back that far, but it would be reasonable to assume that some basic plant life and single cell life forms did not evolve any further.
