It is generally believed that life first appeared sometime around 3.8 billion years ago. The first life forms were simple, single celled organisms with no nucleus. The first photosynthetic organisms were cyanobacteria, and the evolved about 3 billion years ago. Life first began a rapid amount of diversification during the Cambrian, a little more than 500 million years ago.
