Meaning: 

In one brief line in 1859, Darwin moved human origins inside science. His quote signaled that our species should be studied as part of nature.

Most scientists treat Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Homo sapiens as separate species that interbred, but the debate remains open.
7.
Not counting, but the core idea. Counting evolved from simpler biological pattern recognition and signal integration already present in nature.

From History: 1.65 Billion Yeas Ago (+/- 50 million)
Around 1.65 billion years ago, major eukaryotic lineages diverged, setting the ancestral paths that would eventually lead to plants, fungi, and animals.
9.
A new fossil can be exciting without being decisive. Right now, H. aff. erectus is best understood as an early European hominin with erectus-like traits, not yet a confirmed direct ancestor of us.
10.
From History: 340 Million years ago (+/- 10 million)
The amniotic egg evolved in the first amniotes, which evolved into today’s reptiles, birds, and mammals.
