to primitive chordates, encompassing almost all major animal groups' origins.
The research conducted at the Chengjiang Fossil Site has significantly contributed to
enhancing our understanding of early life development while also contributing
significantly to achieving the SDGs. Specifically, it supports SDG 4 (Quality Education)
