Karma Nanglu, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology, explores the mysterious Selkirkia worms from the Cambrian period and their surprising survival 25 million years longer than thought. This discovery reshapes our understanding of evolutionary timelines. With a focus on the longevity and adaptive strategies of these ancient creatures, Karma discusses how new fossil evidence challenges traditional boundaries between the Cambrian and Ordovician periods, highlighting the importance of conservation paleobiology in preserving our understanding of Earth's history.
