How many people were killed in the Cambrian Explosion?

Question

This is for a class project, so serious answers only, please. THX.

Answer 1

Zero. There were no people back then. It was not a catastrophe. It was an explosion of new species.

Answer 2

None, but we lost some d**n good kittens that day.

Answer 3

It must have been all of them, as there were no people on Earth after it happened.

Answer 4

of course there were no people on Earth BEFORE it happened either!

Answer 5

No one was killed, but a lot of cave men got shrapnel wounds. They later introduced legislation against cluster bombs, land mines, and abrupt trans-species genetic mutations.

Answer 6

Millions, man.  Freakin MILLIONS.

Answer 7

Gazillions of the 35 different basic animal body plans, corresponding to different phyla were just being born half a billion years ago, so there must have been tons and tons of people killed then. :).
