Emergence of Animals - The Cambrian Breakthrough

Zusammenfassung The authors explore the late Precambrian and earliest Cambrian fossil record to explain the Cambrian phenomenon and discuss the possibility of a major turnover in marine ecology at the beginning of the Cambrian period or whether a new! improved type of animal appeared at this time. They support their often controversial conclusions with photos and illustrations of fossils! some never before published.
