Burgess Shale animals have been called a paleontological Rorschach test, and not every geologist by any means agrees with Gould s thesis that they represent a road not taken in the history of life. Simon Conway Morris, one of the subjects of Wonderful Life, has expressed his disagreement in Crucible of Creation. Wonderful Life was published in 1989, and there has been an explosion of scientific interest in the pre-Cambrian and Cambrian periods, with radical new ideas fighting for dominance. But even though many scientists disagree with Gould about the radical oddity of the Burgess Shale animals, his argument that the history of life is profoundly contingent--as in the movie It s a Wonderful Life, from which this book takes its title--has become more accepted, in theories such as Ward and Brownlee s Rare Earth hypothesis. And Gould s loving, detailed exposition of the labor it took to understand the Burgess Shale remains one of the best explanations of scientific work around.
