The Cambrian “explosion”: Slow-fuse or megatonnage?

Clearly, the fossil record from the Cambrian period is an invaluable tool for deciphering animal evolution. Less clear, however, is how to integrate the paleontological information with molecular phylogeny and developmental biology data. Equally challenging is answering why the Cambrian period provided such a rich interval for the redeployment of genes that led to more complex bodyplans.

Supernove 1987a before and after explosion

IMB (Irvine, Michigan, Brookline), a collaboration between the University of Michigan, the University of California at Irvine, and the U.S. Department of Energy, was an experiment designed to determine the ultimate stability of matter. The blue giant star Sanduleak in the large magellenic cloud exploded 170,000 years ago giving off a pulse of neutrinos that arrived at earth on 23 February 1987. For a few weeks it was as bright as 100 million suns.
