I'm one paragraph in and the article has immediately contradicted itself saying animals first appear in the fossil record 574mya and their arrival appears as a sudden explosion 539 to 485mya, which 574mya is outside of. It then says people believe animals evolved before the Cambrian period but can't explain why they're missing from the fossil record. Except there are plenty of known fossils from the Ediacaran, the period directly preceding the Cambrian. That's a helluva lot of problems in one paragraph so I think I'm gonna stop reading there.
