Life, in the form of bacterial cells, existed 3, 5 billion years ago, only one billion years after the earth had formed.

About five different forms of bacteria were identified that are almost identical to their modern-day cousins. The discovery pushed back the origin of life 1, 2 billion years earlier than was previously thought.
