Flipboard Science Desk<p>Turns out there wasn’t a dramatic burst of biodiversity on Earth known as the Cambrian explosion. At least, that’s what Thomas Servais, a French paleontologist, and his colleagues argue in a 2023 paper. The Cambrian explosion is credited for being a period in which many animal groups sprang to life and diversified. Servais says that’s really the result of the biases of scientists.
