The Cambrian impact hypothesis

TL;DR

This paper proposes that a celestial impact during the Late Precambrian triggered environmental changes that led to the rapid evolution of complex life during the Cambrian period, supported by analyses aligning with geological and astronomical data.

Contribution

It introduces a novel impact hypothesis for the Cambrian explosion, linking extraterrestrial impact events to biological evolution and environmental transformation.

Findings

Impact likely ended glaciation and enabled biological communication.

Survivor underground life evolved complex structures post-impact.

Hypothesis aligns with key geological and astronomical evidence.

Abstract

After a thorough research on the circumstantial changes and the great evolution of life in the Cambrian period, the author propounds such a hypothesis: During the Late Precambrian, about 500-600Ma, a celestial body impacted the Earth. The high temperature ended the great glaciation, facilitated the communication of biological information. The rapid change of Earth environment enkindled the genesis-control system, and released the HSP-90 variations. After the impact, benefited from the protection of the new ozone layer and the energy supplement of the aerobic respiration, those survived underground life exploded. They generated carapaces and complex metabolism to adjust to the new circumstance of high temperature and high pressure. This article uses a large amount of analyses and calculations, and illustrates that this hypothesis fits well with most of the important incidences in astronomic and geologic discoveries.
