nice try! :-) in the Cambrian, the only vertebrates are marine, in fact as
far as I know there aren't any land animals or plants at all. If they
existed they were hiding really, really, well.

As it turns out, my information is outdated. There is a considerable amount
of scientific evidence that hominids existed 4 million years ago. (science
doesn't, strictly speaking, deal in "proof" that's pretty much a
mathematical concept) Now there's evidence that hominids existed before that
time period. There was a wonderful piece in *today's* TIME magazine that
goes into a bit of detail on this subject. I suggest you read it.
