what do fossils tell us about the evolutionary history of the animal kingdom?
How can we understand the evolutionary relationships among animals, and how, in turn,can we understand the biological traits that have given rise to such great diversity on a few branches of the animal tree of life?
How is it that most, if not all, of the extant animal phyla today evolved during the Cambrian period if so many massive extinction events have taken place since then?
