How plate tectonics may have changed the climate and paved the way for complex life to evolve

The trilobite is one of the most famous creatures to arise during the Cambrian Explosion – ...

Evolution is usually a gradual process, but about half a billion years ago it took off at a gallop in an event that's now known as the Cambrian Explosion.
