主要内容：

·        Life has been evolving on our planet for some four billion years but for most of geological time life was microbial

·        Within a window of some 100 million years animal life appeared in complexity and diversity and gradually began to dominate our biosphere

·        Major biotic events such as the Cambrian Explosion, The Great Ordovician Biodiversification and the Late Ordovician Extinction changed the direction of life on Earth, established its resilience and initiated more modern marine ecosystems

·        Intrinsic factors such as competition between animals and extrinsic factors such as climate and environmental change were key evolutionary drivers

·        Crucial fossil evidence from China and beyond will be discussed and illustrated.
