Do animals prefer their right hand? This is shown by a fossil that evolutionist say is a half million years ago.  

A 555-million-year-old worm had a predilection for turning right, possibly indicating the oldest known example of handedness.

Scott Evans at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and his colleagues analysed 100 fossil specimens of a small flatworm-like creature, Spriggina floundersi, collected in South Australia over recent decades.

These animals lived during the Ediacaran Period, when multicellular life first became widespread. It preceded the Cambrian explosion, when animal life diversified dramatically and many groups of animals first appeared. according to evolution.

This is what evolutionist say, their dating in millions of years is not true.
