I have a really hard time trying to come up with reasons why that's close . . .

cos if you squint really hard it kinda looks like this?

I'm pretty sure it's right. Oh, the green is with coffee and the red is without coffee.

The horizontal axis measures time.

Dammit if Lianachan's answer isn't correct.

Would it be too much of a giveaway to tell us which unit the y axis has?

It is a fraction of a whole, so it has a theoretical minimum of zero and a maximum of one.

The two lines mark the upper and lower confidence bounds.

The units along the horizontal axis are quite large amounts of time.

OK, let's try Big.

The numbers on the lower x-axis are billions of years, while the numbers on the upper one represent Ages of the Earth. Maybe the question mark is during the putative Snowball Earth period, and the red and green linees represent estimates of atmospheric oxygen content, conveniently converging at the just over 20 % mark we are seeing in the current era. The border between epochs 4 and 5 would then be the Precambiran/Cambrian transition, at a something like .55 Gy ago. And the "recent" spike would be some time during Cretacious, when, as I seem to recall foggily, there was a spike in atmospheric O2 reaching almost 40 %.

Does that even make sense?

Yeah, they had dragonflies with one mete wingspans back then, and now that you've mentioned it, I think their existence was attributed to the high oxygen concentrations in the Cretaceous. Must have made for nice wildfires, too.

Is the horizontal axis age, and the vertical axis heart rate?

Exactly. There's only so big an animal that respires through its exoskeleton can get. More oxygen available = bigger bug.

No to both, but age plays a role her. Note that by vertue of the different coulours, the plot contains three dimenions of information.

I guess I should give some hints to get things going again.

The y axis is in percent. All bars add up to 100 %, counting all the subgroups.

The x axis counts years up to some recent date (2010) I think.

Are the coloured bands age related?

Age related, yes: They represent the age distribution of something thorugh the years.

Smoking, plausible, but no. The change is too quick for that. I must say, when I saw this graph I was rather struck by what it shows (the data, significantly, are for Germany, not, say, subsaharan Africa :- )

If I'm reading this correctly it is something young people used to get but older people get now?
