Life's Big Bang - The Story of the Cambrian Explosion ~ with SHUHAI XIAO
What ignited the famed Cambrian Explosion? The majority of today's animal phyla got their start in this strange yet exciting period of time over five hundred million years ago. What triggered this radiation of life, some with shells, others with skeletons? What were the first predators? And what came before this period?
DR SHUHAI XIAO is a paleobiologist and geobiologist who studies the interactions between the biosphere and its environments at critical transitions in Earth history, particularly during the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition.
MARK from Evolution Soup chats with Shuhai about the Cambrian, why it may have produced so many new animal types, and the even more mysterious period of time before the Cambrian, the period known as the Ediacaran.
