New Study Suggests Animals May Have Appeared 200 Million Years Earlier Than Fossils Indicate

Researchers now suggest the animal lineage may have originated as much as 200 million years earlier, long before clear fossil evidence preserved their presence. The finding could reshape how scientists interpret Earth’s ancient climate, oxygen levels, and the biological foundations of today’s living world.
