We live in a well oxygenated planet, but it has not always been this way. In this talk I will outline the history of the oxygenation of Earth, outlining some of the tools that we use to understand this history. I will explore how oxygenation has both impacted and been impacted by biological evolution. I will also explore how the history of earth oxygenation may have regulated timing of major biological innovations like the evolution of algae and the evolution of animals.
