Chinese scientists discover key factor of Cambrian explosion
560-520 million years ago, various animal phyla appeared and expanded rapidly in a relatively short period of time, forming an animal-dominated marine ecosystem. This major event in the history of life evolution is called the Cambrian Explosion. For some time, its cause has been a hot topic of concern in academia. The traditional view is that it may be related to the oxidation of the ocean. The increase in the oxygen content of seawater has brought about the "explosive" appearance of early animals. However, relevant studies have shown that early animals did not have a high demand for oxygen. There is also a view that ocean oxidation is the result of the Cambrian Explosion, not the cause. It can be seen that the feedback mechanism between the early Cambrian ocean oxidation and the "explosion of life" is still unclear and needs further exploration.
