we saw earlier, 60 to 100 different animal
phyla started into life in the Cambrian Age, all
together and at the same time, let alone small
categories such as species. This proves that the
picture which Darwin had described as "fatal
to the theory" is in fact the case. This is why the
Swiss evolutionary paleoanthropologist Stefan
Bengtson, who confesses the lack of

yet another "fatal blow" to the theory of evolution's claim that living things
develop from the primitive to the complex.

The Origin of Vertebrates
As we said at the beginning, one of the phyla that suddenly emerged
in the Cambrian Age is the Chordata, those creatures with a central nervous
system contained within a braincase and a notochord or spinal column.
Vertebrates are a subgroup of chordates. Vertebrates, divided into such
fundamental classes as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, are
probably the most dominant creatures in the animal kingdom.
Because evolutionary paleontologists try to view every phylum as the
evolutionary continuation of another phylum, they claim that the Chordata
phylum evolved from another, invertebrate one. But the fact that, as with
all phyla, the members of the Chordata emerged in the Cambrian Age
invalidates this claim right from the very start.
