Life is believed to have existed on earth for


billions of years now. Scientists do not know
exactly when did life begin on Earth.
However, they are able to trace how life
developed and evolved using some pieces of
evidence.

The Origin of
Life
There are many theories about the origin of life. Some
believed that living organisms were put to Earth by some
divine forces. Others say that life did not originate from Earth
but from other planets. But among scientists, the most
accepted theory is that life came from inanimate matter.
According to the primordial soup theory proposed by
alexander Oparin and john Haldane, life started in a
primordial soup of organic molecules. Some form of energy
from lighting combined with the chemicals in the atmosphere
to make the building blocks of protein known as the amino
acids.

Early Form of Life

The first form of life is believed to haved appeared some 3.5 billion
years ago. The first evidence of life is found in microfossils.

Microfossils – are fossils that contain the remain tiny plants and
animals. They are very small and can be measured in milimeters,
and some could only be identified under a microscope. Some of
the remains of organism do not have a nucleus so they were
called prokaryotes. They are known to be the earliest forms of life.
They have survived the extreme conditions of the early
environment. They started to make their own food by utilizing the
energy from the sun and the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
These are the photosynthetic organism. The process of
photosynthesis produced more oxygen that changed the Earth’s
early atmosphere. This change in the atmosphere allowed oxygen-
brething organism to exist.
The Cyanobacteria are the first
photosynthetic organism to form. Their
microfossils are among the easiest to
recognize. Their morphology remained
the same and they left chemical fossils
in the form of broken product from
pigments. The first microfossils that
showed remains of organisms with
difference in structure from the simple
form of life was seen in rocks about 1.5
billion years old. They are larger than
bacteria and have internal membranes
and thicker wall. These findings
marked the beginning of eukaryotic
organisms on Earth.
How did
multicellular
organism evolve
Learn about it!

Multicellular organisms are


believed to have evolved from
unicellular eukaryotes. Some
single eukaryituc cells, like
unicellular algae, formed
multicellular aggregates through
association with another cell
producing colonies. From colonial
aggregates, the organisms evolved
to form multicellular organism
through cell specialization
Protozoans, sponges and fungi came to
being. The first fossilized animals which
were discovered 580 million years ago
were soft-bodied. The continuous process
of cell specialization brought the
emergence of complex and diverse plants
and animal, including human beings.
Evidence from fossil layers proved that
different forms of life were present and
have evolved through time. According to
Charles Darwin, organisms change over
time as a result of adaptation to their
environment in order to survive.
