Fifty-six million years are only the blink of an eye in the history of the earth. That is how long the Cambrian period lasted.

From the time before the Cambrian, there were practically no fossils of complex multicellular organisms. They all seem to appear for the first time only within the 56 million years of the Cambrian.

Read all about this great earth-historical mystery in my article Have You Ever Heard Of The Cambrian Explosion? It Is One Of The Most Fascinating Stories In History.
