Cambrian Explosion: another new weird animal

DAVID: This weird bird fits into his eco-niche of the balance of nature at that time.

dhw: Yes indeed, every single organism that ever existed “fits into its eco-niche of the balance of nature at that time”, and then in 99% of cases it dies out. Nothing whatsoever to do with God’s sole purpose being the production of the human brain.

The human brain appeared 300,000 years ago. Life started 3.6-8 billion years ago. Somethings had to fill in the in-between time.
