The Cambrian explosion was not the origin of life, not by a very long shot â??? billions of years actually.
The Cambrian explosion was the origin of creatures with hard parts and legs. A truly fascinating chapter in the evolution of life.
Interesting. I will certainly take a look at that website when I get a few spare hours (that's probably how long it'll take me to read everything I would guess  ) I agree and also stated that the Cambrian explosion was not the origin of life, bacteria and algae existed as far back as four billion years ago according to the fossil record, I think we can both agree that amazingly complex animal life did pop up during the Cambrian explosion, and it is this amazing increase in the complexity of life in such a short span with no real empirical fossil record evidence to record transitions that peaks my interest. I agree it is a truly fascinating topic to study overall, let's both keep an open mind about it going forward, hopefully we'll see some awesome debates over the span of our lifetimes as we make new discoveries.
