A recent scientific discovery finds a link between Earth's magnetic field and the rise of oxygen levels, potentially impacting the evolution of complex life.
Around 591 to 565 million years ago, Earth's magnetic field weakened significantly, coinciding with a rise in atmospheric and oceanic oxygen.

A new study suggests more solar radiation reached Earth while the magnetic field weakened, leading to a rise in oxygen that drove an explosion of multicellular organisms during the Ediacaran Period
