Of it, not above it
Article Abstract:
The concept of evolution as a gradual process does not fit with such events as the Cambrian Explosion, which took place more than 500 million years ago. The discovery of soft-bodied fauna in the Burgess Shale of the Canadian Rockies in 1909 also demonstrates remarkable diversity of the later Cambrian, as does the discovery of similar organisms at Chengjiang, China.
