Scientists were constructing an evolutionary timeline of scorpions. The oldest species is Parioscorpio venator, which lived 437 million years ago and had a body length of 2.0 m (about 6.5 ft). Modern-day scorpions, such as Serradigitus wupatkiensis, are much small than their ancestors and are only 2.0 - 2.5 cm long. However, scientists have noted that the overall body structure of scorpions has remained about the same for the past 430 million years.
