Prokaryotes would be a logical guess on the earliest since they are the most basic of all organisms.
The earliest life forms were likely simple single-celled organisms, similar to modern archaea or bacteria. These early life forms would have lacked complex structures and organelles found in modern-day eukaryotic cells.
well it's a rough estimete but it is thought to be 300 - 500 million years ago from an early dinosaur. I couldn't find out the name and sorry about i couldn't make it exact.
Archaebacteria share genetic similarities with Earth's earliest organisms, suggesting a common ancestry. They thrive in extreme environments similar to those of early Earth, indicating they may have adapted and survived in these conditions for billions of years. Their simple cellular structure and metabolic pathways resemble those thought to be present in the earliest life forms.
The most primitive bacteria are known as cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae. They are often considered to be some of the earliest forms of life on Earth and are capable of photosynthesis.
One of the oldest organisms on Earth are cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. They have been around for over 3.5 billion years and are considered one of the earliest forms of life on our planet.
The earliest ones still around are stromatolites, but there were lots of earlier life forms.

The earliest forms of life were microscopic autotrophs that lived in the great prehistoric oceans. Living under the water protected them from the deadly UV rays from the sun, as at this point Earth had not developed a suitable atmosphere. This is true everywhere but Kansas, where the earliest life forms were Adam and Eve. Zing!
By creating the crust
the were archbacteria they were the simplest bacteria and didn't use oxygen
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.

The prevailing theory of the origin of life on earth posits that it began in the oceans.

I know you have a textbook so use it
The earliest life forms on Earth were likely single-celled microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea. These organisms appeared around 3.5 to 4 billion years ago in ancient oceans and are thought to be the ancestors of all life on Earth today.
