Re: The First Animals
I'm guessing the ediacaran biota won't be covered much, and the show will focus
on the Cambrian Explosion.
While the Cambrian explosion is interesting, I think its clear now that
"animals" existed before it, and thus the Cambrian didn't have the "First
Animals"
It would be understandable, there isn't much to look at from the ediacaran -
some circular things, some blobs, some disks, something that looked like a fern
on the sea bottom (they might give Charnia a mention), and then that sort of
trilobite/bug looking thing Spriggina may also get a mention.
-- Then its probably on to oddities like Anomolocaris, and some putative early
chordates.
