Microorganisms.

Microorganisms already existed in space, floating about on space debris like ice and rock, long before Earth even existed. This is confirmed by microfossils found on meteorites that have crashed into the Earth.

Studies indicate that the first living thingson Earth were single-celled microorganisms called Archaea.
