It was a power point presentation and went into the history of humans in the final minute of the 24 hr period. I really want to use it in class.

"I have used something like this when teaching in the past"

I have used something like this in the past. It is also useful to map the history to say a hallway in your school or something. You can actually start this outside from the beginning of life on the planet, take a relatively long walk, and show where different events map on this spatial scale. This really seemed to break through the time scale problem for a lot of students. The advantage of mapping this out to a spatial scale, is that you can include, real fossils models etc along the path. This is also something that can be left of for a week or two so that the general population of the school will have access to it.

See the resources at:

and specifically:

I vaguely recall Carl Sagan in his DVD introduction had discussed this about the brief timeline of man in world history and illustrated it very well. Think the title was "Cosmos."
