The evolutionary path leading to vertebrates was complex and replete with chance. When we consider our own deep history, we seldom think about how steeply the odds have been stacked against us. The world of the distant past, over 3.5 billion years ago, would be unrecognizable to anyone who might be able to travel back to that point in time. The Earth was then a very different place, with no multicellular organisms and a toxic atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
