- What a treasure indeed! I just didn‘t understand why this particular site had so well-preserved soft tissue fossils? I assume it is probably related to the geology of the site during formation of the fossils, and probably the researchers themselves are not quite sure. But I would love to know more, if anyone here understands about this sort of thing.
- The Cambrian period has to be the most interesting period in Earth's history.
A close second is the period where the monkeys started wearing clothes, driving cars and programming computers.
- Or maybe just before that, when they started wearing digital watches.
- We're apes, friend.
- Apes are a subset of monkeys.
- Primates.
- Primeats, from many perspectives.
