The Cambrian (/ˈkæmbriən/ or /ˈkeɪmbriən/) is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, lasting from 541 to 485.4 million years ago (mya) and is succeeded by the Ordovician. Its subdivisions, and indeed its base, are somewhat in flux. The period was established (as “Cambrian series”) by Adam Sedgwick, who named it after Cambria, the Latinised form of Cymru, the Welsh name for Wales, where Britain's Cambrian rocks are best exposed. The Cambrian is unique in its unusually high proportion of lagerstätte sedimentary deposits. These are sites of exceptional preservation, where "soft" parts of organisms are preserved as well as their more resistant shells. This means that our understanding of the Cambrian biology surpasses that of some later periods.
The Cambrian marked a profound change in life on Earth; prior to the Cambrian, the majority of living organisms on the whole were small, unicellular and simple; the PrecambrianCharnia being exceptional. Complex, multicellular organisms gradually became more common in the millions of years immediately preceding the Cambrian, but it was not until this period that mineralized—hence readily fossilized—organisms became common. The rapid diversification of lifeforms in the Cambrian, known as the Cambrian explosion, produced the first representatives of all modern animal phyla. Phylogenetic analysis has supported the view that during the Cambrian radiation, metazoa (animals) evolved monophyletically from a single common ancestor: flagellated colonial protists similar to modern choanoflagellates.

The Cambrian Period is one of the most significant times in the history of animals, and life in general. Starting with an explosion of diversity and body forms, this period marked the beginning of a whole new wave of life. Today, we’ll be exploring it! I’ll be introducing you to the ancestors of some more familiar species, as well as some of the stranger specimens from half a billion years ago. I hope you enjoy!

This week I finally make it to the dawn of complex life and many or the animal groups that we know today. It's still quite a strange world, but this is a critical point in our plenets history, the Cambrian Explosion. during this event, there was a massive increase in the biodiversity of the Earth withing just a few million years. This would set the stage for everything that has yet to come.

The first era of our current eon, the Paleozoic Era, is probably the most deceptively fascinating time in Earth’s history. With near-constant revolutions in life, punctuated by catastrophic extinctions, it is also one of the most chaotic.
Correction! At 9:19, we erroneously refer to Dimetrodon as an herbivore. It was definitely a carnivore. We even made a whole video about Dimetrodon and their carnivorous ways in a previous episode: https://youtu.be/SR3OOP9mImI Thanks to everyone who pointed out our error!

Precambrian Creatures: The First Animals
The very, VERY first animals aren’t really talked about much, and that’s a shame. What existed before the Cambrian explosion? What could these first Precambrian Era animals possibly look like? And WHAT is the oldest animal fossil?

What caused the Cambrian explosion?
For most of the Earth's history, life consisted of the simplest organisms; but then something happened that would give rise to staggering diversity, and, ultimately, life as complex as that which we see today. Scientists are still struggling to figure out just what that was.

For most of the Earth's history, life consisted of the simplest organisms; but then something happened that would give rise to staggering diversity, and, ultimately, life as complex as that which we see today. Scientists are still struggling to figure out just what that was.

The Cambrian Period is one of the most significant times in the history of animals, and life in general. Starting with an explosion of diversity and body forms, this period marked the beginning of a whole new wave of life. Today, we’ll be exploring it! I’ll be introducing you to the ancestors of some more familiar species, as well as some of the stranger specimens from half a billion years ago. I hope you enjoy!
As always, a massive thanks to Gian for the phenomenal editing!

This week I finally make it to the dawn of complex life and many or the animal groups that we know today. It's still quite a strange world, but this is a critical point in our plenets history, the Cambrian Explosion. during this event, there was a massive increase in the biodiversity of the Earth withing just a few million years. This would set the stage for everything that has yet to come.

The first era of our current eon, the Paleozoic Era, is probably the most deceptively fascinating time in Earth’s history. With near-constant revolutions in life, punctuated by catastrophic extinctions, it is also one of the most chaotic.
Correction! At 9:19, we erroneously refer to Dimetrodon as an herbivore. It was definitely a carnivore. We even made a whole video about Dimetrodon and their carnivorous ways in a previous episode: https://youtu.be/SR3OOP9mImI Thanks to everyone who pointed out our error!

For most of the Earth's history, life consisted of the simplest organisms; but then something happened that would give rise to staggering diversity, and, ultimately, life as complex as that which we see today. Scientists are still struggling to figure out just what that was.

The Cambrian (/ˈkæmbriən/ or /ˈkeɪmbriən/) is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, lasting from 541 to 485.4 million years ago (mya) and is succeeded by the Ordovician. Its subdivisions, and indeed its base, are somewhat in flux. The period was established (as “Cambrian series”) by Adam Sedgwick, who named it after Cambria, the Latinised form of Cymru, the Welsh name for Wales, where Britain's Cambrian rocks are best exposed. The Cambrian is unique in its unusually high proportion of lagerstätte sedimentary deposits. These are sites of exceptional preservation, where "soft" parts of organisms are preserved as well as their more resistant shells. This means that our understanding of the Cambrian biology surpasses that of some later periods.
The Cambrian marked a profound change in life on Earth; prior to the Cambrian, the majority of living organisms on the whole were small, unicellular and simple; the PrecambrianCharnia being exceptional. Complex, multicellular organisms gradually became more common in the millions of years immediately preceding the Cambrian, but it was not until this period that mineralized—hence readily fossilized—organisms became common. The rapid diversification of lifeforms in the Cambrian, known as the Cambrian explosion, produced the first representatives of all modern animal phyla. Phylogenetic analysis has supported the view that during the Cambrian radiation, metazoa (animals) evolved monophyletically from a single common ancestor: flagellated colonial protists similar to modern choanoflagellates.
Early Cambrian fossils reveal how a ...The shells span an unknown time period, are thought to have been deposited slowly, yet covering 14 meters (45 feet), suggesting a long window on Cambrian evolution.
According to researchers at the American Museum of Natural History, this study presents the first concrete evidence of an evolutionary arms race occurring during the Cambrian period.
The fossil, which is only a few centimeters long, is the oldest member of the Ecdysozoa, and interestingly the only one known from the Precambrian period.Researchers noted that it is an ‘incredibly exciting discovery.
Historically, fossil embryos from the early Cambrian to Early Ordovician periods have predominantly included cnidarians and the scalidophoran taxon Markuelia. ... group from the Cambrian period.
“Like many modern-day animal groups, ecdysozoans were prevalent in the Cambrian fossil record and we can see evidence of all three subgroups right at the beginning of this period, about 540 million ...
The long snooze gave way to the Cambrian explosion, the most rapid, creative period of evolution in the history of our planet ... The origins of the Cambrian explosion, these scientists say, may lie not in life itself but deep in Earth’s interior.
