Early Cambrian macroevolution is the inevitable conclusion. There's
no other way to save evolutionary theory. It is interesting that geologists
may have gone overboard, always looking for the most impressive ages,
with the encouragement of Darwinian gradualists, who need all the time
they can get. I wonder just what the size of the adjustment would be when
applied to the Cambrian. Presumably the effect is greater the further back
you go.
