This is the peak of evolution. It’s been downhill ever since.
Hard agree.
Some evil cabal intolerant to vast variety of species orchestrated mass extinction so that now we are all this uniform fish-bird things.
I want to go back.

They managed to procreate successfully. Can you say the same about yourself?
Fun fact, prior to the Cambrian explosion animals did not have hard parts. There is a theory in a book called "in the blink of an eye " that some animal evolved eyes followed quickly by the evolution hard parts and the Cambrian explosion. They’re were three phyla of animals before the Cambrian explosion and whatever the current number is now I think it’s like 28 after the Cambrian explosion which took place in a very short period of time. link to book edited comment to have better search
Your “link to the book” seems to be a link to a search from that title with a billion results that aren’t the book you’ve described.
Go home, evolution, you’re drunk… or tripping balls on a heroic dose, sounds more like it.
Those are images made from the data recovered from their fossils. I guess they didn’t look like that at all. If the same process was done with human skeletons we’d have a very good laugh.
Those are trilobites, part of the arthropod phylum. They have exoskeletons (i.e no inner bones), so they would probably look quite a lot like their fossils. Comparing them to vertebrates like humans (or dinosaurs, or whatever) in this context makes no sense.
And an exoskeleton can’t have anything covering it because… ?
Because that’s what the “exo” part means.
It’s not a phase mom this is who I am
so cute :(
