Four Billion BCE: Battered Earth
No place on Earth was safe four billion years ago, during the Hadean eon. Our Solar System was a dangerous shooting gallery of large rocks and ice chunks. Recent examination of lunar and Earth bombardment data indicates that the entire surface of Earth underwent piecemeal upheavals. This created a battered world with no remaining familiar land masses.
