Monsters of Eden. Trilobites, Anomalocaridids, Sea Scorpions, and Other Monsters

Can there be monsters in Eden? It is a paradise garden, where everyone lives peacefully and happily! In the biblical Eden — yes, but in the real ancient Eden that gave birth to us, there were not just many monsters; monsters created us. For most of history, we were food. Even when we became so cool that we could fight back against the monsters, they regularly troubled us — and continue to do so occasionally, despite progress. There are many monsters; they are diverse and sometimes difficult to recognize, but that does not make them any less terrifying. What is the world of monsters like? A new book by the famous anthropologist Stanislav Drobyshevsky.
