Animals are considered to have evolved from ________________.
colonial flagellated protists

Distinct layers
Major phyla of Animals are present in old Cambrian rock, exhibiting tremendous animal diversity, this is known as the _________, because life suddenly appeared or “exploded” as different forms.
Cambrian explosion
Many of the strange creatures seen in _______ fossil beds are now extinct, but some life forms still exist today.
Cambrian
