Cambrian Explosion: another new weird animal (Introduction)

QUOTE: "Capinatator—whose name translates to grasping swimmer—lived 500 million years ago at a time when creatures started getting bigger and more diverse. It's difficult to find complete fossils belonging to the chaetognatha family because they decayed easily, said Briggs. This latest find, however, was so good that even soft tissue was saved, giving scientists a good idea about what Capinatator looked like.
"The discovery expands scientists' knowledge of a "pretty enigmatic" group of animals from the Cambrian era, said Smithsonian paleobiologist Doug Erwin, who had no role in the research."

David’s comment: Each find kills the supposed gradualism of Darwin theory.

Agreed. And each find kills the supposed anthropocentrism of David Turell’s theory.
