1. The creatures preserved in the Burgess Shale fossils are most closely related to modern.
2. The Cambrian period occurred
3. Further research into the Burgess Shale fossils showed that the data did not support Gould’s hypothesis. Do you think this information proved that Gould was wrong? Why or why not?
4. Major museums such as the Smithsonian Institute have thousands, if not millions, of artifacts that are stored away, but not displayed. Based on what you read in this selection, why is it important for museums and other institutions to hold on to artifacts, even if they are no longer currently being studied?
5. The biggest criticisms of Gould’s book didn’t focus on his hypothesis; they focused on his methods. Why do you think scientists’ methods of investigation need to be carefully examined by other scientists?

C. hundreds of millions of years ago.
yes if his hypothisis didnt work out his hypothesis is wrong
so people can learn about them
Trilobite fossils found at the Burgess Shale helped scientists date the other creatures found there to the Cambrian period, which lasted from 530 to 520 million years ago. This period in Earth’s history saw a phenomenal increase in the diversity and abundance of Earth’s life forms within a relatively short time. Another of Stephen Jay Gould’s debated hypotheses was that evolutionary change occurs in sudden bursts, followed by long periods of stabilit
