"Revisiting the Origins of Life: Avalon Explosion Challenges Textbook Narratives"

New research challenges the long-held belief that increased oxygen levels triggered the Avalon explosion, which marked the rise of multicellular organisms on Earth. Analyzing ancient rocks, scientists have found that oxygen levels were actually lower than today when these life forms emerged. This finding suggests that low oxygen levels may have promoted the development of these organisms, reshaping our understanding of the origin of life on Earth. The study calls for a revision of textbooks and encourages further research to reconsider previous results in light of this new information.
