And how did it happen?

Ddarwin himself had big doubts about that, as well as Stephen Gould. Gould came up with his “punctuated equilibrium “ to try to explain Cambrian - but it proved insufficient.

I used to believe in Darwin’s theory, after reading “Darwin’s Doubt “, I’ve become a strong skeptic.

Didn't Darwin himself believe that if his theory is true, that the vast majority of fossils would be transitional forms?

Makes sense if the theory is true.

There must have been countless dead-end half-creatures that simply couldn't survive.
