For the calculation of the A4 sheet for the animal part of the tree of life: I took 1.5 billion generations, which makes 150 million A4 heights (with 10 lines per sheet). That is to say 45,000,000 m or 45,000 km and therefore ~ ​​3*14,000 km (Earth radius). There is not much sense in wanting to make a precise calculation here because the number of generations is indicated with an imprecision certainly of the order of 50% and the starting point of what we count is very vague and very arbitrary (it is a small part of the tree of life). The goal is to have an order of magnitude. See also: The origin of life: • The origin of life, what do we know in 2...
