ok then, here's an explanation...
...it's a 1.5 hour documentary from National Geographic on the Story of the Earth:
I urge you to give it a chance, take a day or so to watch it;
and I quite seriously recommend keeping a pen and paper handy
to notate how far back in time they tell you certain events occurred;
AND how many millions (or billions, be careful) of years
they mention passing for any single given stage in Earth's evolutionary history, to pass.
note: this documentary does NOT give the details of how evolution occurs, in animals;
...you would need a different documentary for that.
This documentary merely gives an overview of how the Earth was first formed, itself;
and THEN it fast-forwards, over the course of an hour,
through all the different stages Life has gone through,
on this planet.
I hope you enjoy it, and it answers your questions.
Life has gone through multiple stages, on Earth.
Here is a Wiki article listing the major mass-extinction events in Earth's history:
