Daniel Bensen <dbensen@gotnet.net> asked:
Can anybody recommend books, websites, or publications where I can
learn more about the Cambrian explosion?
The first thing that popped into my head was an article by Erwin,
Valentine, and Jablonski published in _American Scientist_ four years
ago. It's still on the web:
http://www.AmericanScientist.org/articles/97articles/Erwin.html
In looking for it I also found they've made available the article that
Anusuya Chinsamy and Peter Dodson wrote on dinosaur bone histology.
Since the subject has come up here recently I figured I'd mention it
in case people might want some background reading:
http://www.AmericanScientist.org/articles/95articles/achinsamy.html
Make sure you read the whole article before criticizing any of it :-j
The site has at least a few other articles people here might like to
read. Poke around...
