How does one see usage statistics? I've been reading about all this migration, but cannot substantiate. Is there a site that reports such numbers?

Don‘t insult the Ediacaran!

Uh oh we're going to have a flame war (Cambrian wins, sorry, your guys can barely move)

tarquinhh.bsky.social•106 days ago

jopabinia.bsky.social•105 days ago

that's still pretty good, but there's quite a wide world of radiodonts now...perhaps you'd enjoy some of the others?

Two facts about the "Cambrian Explosion of Metazoan Life". 1. Everything I know I learned from Gould's book. 2. In grad school, that was our Quizzo team's name.

we've been doing science in the 35 years since Wonderful Life! finding out that most if not all of those "weird wonders" were not so alone after all...
