The pre-Cambrian had single-celled organisms and Ediacaran
life forms with no complex organs. These constituted three phyla. To
these were added more than 45 more, in the 5 million years between
530 and 525 million years ago. In that interval were added organs
and structures such as eyes, antennae, limbs and guts, with no pre-
vious examples pre-dating them, as well as immune systems, nerv-
ous systems, physiological and developmental systems. In addition,
this happened not locally but on a world-wide ecological basis.
Since Darwin was aware of the damaging effect of wide-ran-
ging random changes on complex systems, he allowed for only very
small changes and fantasized that this evolutionary process could
produce new species only over long periods of time, in a large por-
tion of the history of the Earth. The establishment of all the phyla in
the animal world in as brief a time as roughly one thousandth of the
history of the Earth was not something that the slow workings of
natural selection and mutation could explain.
