In this book „THE NEW PRECAMBRIAN“, the author describes the birth of a completely new view on the Precambrian. He established the „Montana biota“ in the so-called „boring billion“ - a complex animate world before the Ediacara biota. So, it’s not a „boring“, but a „bustling billion“. Now, multicellular life goes back to 2.1 billion years ago! In permanent cooperation with the discoverer of the „Franceville biota“, professor Abderrazak El Albani (University of Poitiers/France), the author describes and discusses the fossils of Gabon. This discovery proves the existence of multicellular life very long before Ediacara and there is no doubt that there must have been a transitional fauna between Franceville and Ediacara. Now, it has become impossible to declare that the Precambrian was „empty“ or only marked by microbes that built stromatolites. Starting with the origin of the earth and leading to the „Cambrian Explosion“, which initiated modern evolution, the history of life is written in a new way.
