A study of fossilized feces from across the Cambrian period found that the explosion of life around 540 million years ago could have been partly driven by the buildup of excrement produced by primitive sea creatures.

💩 A new study published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution suggests that an "explosion of feces" during the Cambrian period (around 540 million years ago) may have played a significant role in the diversification of early animal life.

💩 Researchers from Australia and Germany propose that increased waste production from burgeoning animal populations introduced more organic matter and nutrients into ancient oceans, accelerating ecosystem development alongside rising oxygen levels and other factors.

💩 Examination of ancient fossilized feces, known as coprolites, dating back to the early Cambrian (around 540 million years ago), shows a correlation between the evolution of larger animals, more complex digestive systems, and the distribution of nutrients.
