7、als on Earth Scientists have long speculated as to why animal species didnt flourish sooner, once sufficient oxygen covered the Earths surface. Animals began to prosper at the end of the Proterozoic period, about 800 million years ago but what about the billion-year stretch before that, when most re
8、searchers think there also was plenty of oxygen? Well, it seems the air wasnt so great then, after all. In a study published Oct. 31 in Science, Yale researcher Noah Planavsky and his colleagues found that oxygen levels during the “boring billion” period were only 0.1% of what they are today. In oth
9、er words, Earths atmosphere couldnt have supported a diversity of creatures, no matter what genetic advancements were poised to occur.“There is no question that genetic and ecological innovation must ultimately be behind the rise of animals, but it is equally unavoidable that animals need a certain

Chromium is found in the Earths continental crust, and chromium oxidation is directly linked to the presence of free oxygen in the atmosphere. Specifically, the team studied samples

Oxygens role in controlling the first appearance of animals has long vexed scientists. “We were missing the right approach until
13、now,” Planavsky said. “Chromium gave us the proxy.” Previous estimates put the oxygen level at 40% of todays conditions during pre-animal times, leaving open the possibility that oxygen was already plentiful enough to support animal life. In the new study, the researchers acknowledged that oxygen le
14、vels were “highly dynamic” in the early atmosphere, with the potential for occasional spikes. However, they said, “It seems clear that there is a first- order difference in the nature of Earth surface Cr cycling” before and after the rise of animals. “If we are right, our results will really change
15、how people view the origins of animals and other complex life, and their relationships to the co-evolving environment,” said co-author Tim Lyons of the University of California-Riverside. “This could be a game changer.” “Theres a lot of interest right now in a broader discussion surrounding the role
