近年来，人们对2100年至7.2亿年前复杂生命出现的触发因素和时间的理解得到了极大的扩展。这一主题问题汇集了作为2019年9月举行的皇家学会“复杂生命的起源和兴起：整合模型、地球化学和古生物学数据”讨论会议的一部分提出的多样化和新颖的地球化学和古生物学数据。个别论文提供了来自多个学科的先见之明的见解。下面我们总结一下他们对会议目标的贡献；在这个深刻而神秘的过渡时期，为变化的气候、海洋氧化还原、养分有效性和生态系统反馈的不同作用创造可测试的假设。
Understanding of the triggers and timing of the rise of complex life ca 2100 to 720 million years ago has expanded dramatically in recent years. This theme issue brings together diverse and novel geochemical and palaeontological data presented as part of the Royal Society ‘The origin and rise of complex life: integrating models, geochemical and palaeontological data’ discussion meeting held in September 2019. The individual papers offer prescient insights from multiple disciplines. Here we summarize their contribution towards the goal of the meeting; to create testable hypotheses for the differing roles of changing climate, oceanic redox, nutrient availability, and ecosystem feedbacks across this profound, but enigmatic, transitional period.
