The Cambrian explosion remains one of the greatest mysteries in biology. Complex animals appeared abruptly, and the fossils of their ancestors are missing. In this video, Dr. Stephen Meyer explains why new fossil discoveries, including soft-bodied pre-Cambrian embryos from China, challenge the traditional Neodarwinian explanation. If tiny, fragile embryos could be preserved, why not the larger ancestors of complex animals? This isn’t just a missing fossil problem. It’s a deeper mystery about how life builds itself. From genetic information to the engineering of animals, the Cambrian explosion raises questions that could reshape our understanding of evolution.
