There is this very quaint idea that in the Eidiacarian life was simple and basic— because it was the beginning of some journey in mounting complexity. And this is true in the sense that ecosystems seemed to have fewer layers. But is that because they were somehow less refined by evolutionary pressures and time? Or was it just a function of a less rich environment with fewer niches— but the creatures were every bit as sophisticated at what they did as us today?
