540 million years, an inconceivable Gulf of Time that will put you during what is known

as the Cambrian Era here on Earth.

The planet where humans are now the dominant species would be completely unrecognizable.

Continents and landmasses know where near where they are today and completely bereft

of the wealth of plant and animal life we see today.

All life on Earth existed within its oceans at the time.

The planet had just experienced a veritable explosion of life.

In an evolutionary blink of an eye, the life that had been slowly developing beneath

the waves had gone from a carpet of single-celled life to a thriving ecosystem of bizarre-looking

creatures filling all manner of ecological niches.

To this day, scientists are still searching for the impetus for this prolific blooming

of biological life.

If an early Earth could have produced such a wealth of life in oceans with conditions

so completely different from their current state, what could this possibly mean for other

watery worlds within our own solar system and even those beyond?

This case file joined the theorists as they preached the comfort found within the eight

armed embrace of the most sublime cephalopod in alien ocean worlds.

Welcome to alien theorists theorizing case file 235, Kevin Costner presents Alien Water

World.
