The timeline of life on Earth might need a serious rewrite. New research suggests that complex life forms could have existed 1.5 billion years earlier than previously thought, thanks to nutrient-rich conditions created by underwater volcanoes. This fascinating study, led by Cardiff University scientists, has sparked debate in the scientific community. Could these early life forms really have thrived in such an ancient era, or is this just another tantalizing theory?
