I believe it is foot racing from ancient Greece. Possibly.
The oldest known and simplest organisms are part of the Archaebacteria kingdom. Members of this kingdom are one celled organisms and are also the most ancient organisms.
One of the oldest multicellular organisms on Earth are believed to be the Ediacaran biota, which lived around 635 to 541 million years ago. Fossils of these ancient organisms show evidence of complex multicellularity, though their exact classification and relationships to modern organisms are still debated among researchers.
Yes, the phylum porifera contain some of the oldest organisms because they are formed from fossilized, tiny sea organisms which were the precursors to modern life.
Algae or blue green algae
The oldest organisms can generally be found in the lower layers of rock, as these layers were formed earlier than the upper layers. By examining the relative positions of different rock layers, scientists can determine the ages of the organisms found within them.
The oldest geological era is the Precambrian period. It is the period of Earth's formation, as well as the origin of the first single and multi-celled organisms.
Single celled organisms like a bacteria and are some of Earth's oldest life forms.
Some of the oldest known fossils are stromatolites, dating to 3.5 billion years ago. Stromatolites still exist today. They are round colonies of photosynthetic, single felled organisms without nuclei (prokaryotes).

No, prokaryotic cells are not the oldest living things. The oldest living things on Earth are believed to be bacteria-like organisms that existed billions of years ago, before more complex life forms evolved. These early organisms were likely similar to present-day prokaryotic cells in structure and function.
The oldest evidence of life are single celled organisms that are found in rock and mineral samples. These date back to approximately 3.5-3.8 billion years ago.
That depend on your religion. Some religions believe that people were. But if you go for evolution, then its single celled organisms.
