Scientists found a “lost world” of animals that shouldn’t exist yet
A remarkable fossil discovery in southwest China is rewriting the story of how complex animal life began, showing that many key animal groups appeared millions of years earlier than scientists once believed. Dating back over 540 million years, the fossils reveal a surprisingly diverse and advanced ecosystem from the late Ediacaran period—before the famous Cambrian explosion. Among the finds are early relatives of starfish, worm-like creatures, a…

IMPACTANT! A team of scientists found more than 700 fossils in China that show that complex animal life diversified millions of years before the famous evolutionary explosion of the Cambrian.
A paleontological field discovered in the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan has provided more than 700 fossil specimens that force to rewrite the initial chapters of the history of complex animal life on Earth. The study, led by researchers from the Natural History Museum of Oxford University and the University of [...]
Before the Explosion: Chinese Fossil Site Rewrites the Origins of Complex Animal Life
For more than a century, paleontologists have looked to the Cambrian Period as the moment when complex animal life erupted onto the scene — a roughly 20-million-year window beginning around 535 million years ago when most of the major animal body plans appeared in the fossil record with startling suddenness. The “Cambrian explosion,” as it is known, has long been one of biology’s great set pieces: a drama with a clear opening act and an astonish…
