What is The earliest life forms on earth lived?
The earliest ones still around are stromatolites, but there were lots of earlier life forms.
What was democritus's contribution to physics?
Democritus's main contribution to physics was discovery of the atom. He devoted his life to finding out as much as possible to create what is thought to be the first atomic theory.
What life forms formed the earliest fossils?
Single-celled prokaryotes that are preserved in stromatolites. Stromatolites are ancient laminated rocks formed by the growth of cyanobacteria; basically they are rock-like buildups of microbial mats that form in limestone-forming environments. In combination with oncoids, stromatolites are formed by the baffling, trapping, and precipitation of particles by communities of microorganisms like cyanobacteria or red algae, etc. So in answer to your question, the oldest fossils are stromatolites, and the life forms that created those "fossils" were prokaryotic bacteria and algae like cyanobacteria.
Are stromatolites fossils of early organisms?
That's right; stromatolites are fossils of very old bacterial colonies. Stromatolites are layered accretionary structures formed in shallow water by the trapping, binding and cementation of sedimentary grains by bio-films of microorganisms, especially cyanobacteria (commonly known as blue-green algae). Stromatolites are a major constituent of the fossil record for about the first 3.5 billion years of life on earth and were responsible for creating the atmosphere we breathe.

When did the first life originated and what was it?
Evidence suggests that life first evolved around 3.5 billion years ago. This evidence takes the form of microfossils (fossils too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope) and ancient rock structures in South Africa and Australia called stromatolites. Stromatolites are produced by microbes (mainly photosynthesizing cyanobacteria) that form thin microbial films which trap mud; over time, layers of these mud/microbe mats can build up into a layered rock structure - the stromatolite. Stromatolites are still produced by microbes today. These modern stromatolites are remarkably similar to the ancient stromatolites which provide evidence of some of the earliest life on Earth. Modern and ancient stromatolites have similar shapes and, when seen in cross section, both show the same fine layering produced by thin bacterial sheets. Microfossils of ancient cyanobacteria can sometimes be identified within these layers.
Can you make something come to life?
Maybe the answer is possible. soon it may even be in the future that we can
What fossil records do you have from the Precambrian life?
very little, there are stromatolites, domed mates of microscopic algae that are aged as precambrian. No other fossils in the precambrian
How would you explain life?
Well life is whatever you want it to be that's reasonable and possible you can easily manipulate your future by the actions you make today

What was one of the earliest life forms of life?
Stromatolites are one of the earliest known life forms; some fossils may date back 3.5 billion years - before Earth had any oxygen in it's atmosphere.
