Ancient Poop May Have Triggered Earth’s Cambrian Explosion | WION Podcast

Scientists are exploring a surprising new idea about one of evolution’s greatest turning points: ancient animal waste may have helped fuel the Cambrian explosion. Fossilised faeces, known as coprolites, suggest that increasingly complex digestive systems began redistributing nutrients and organic material through prehistoric oceans. Researchers believe this may have created an ecological feedback loop, with more animals producing more waste, enriching marine environments and supporting even greater biological diversity. The theory does not replace explanations involving oxygen and changing food webs, but adds another crucial piece to the puzzle of how complex life rapidly diversified. It is a reminder that even something as ordinary as waste may have played an extraordinary role in shaping life on Earth.
