Some/ many people and scientists say that monkeys, gorillas, apes etc were the

first living thing to be on Earth. BUT, they are all wrong, as the first living thing on

earth were fish, sounds stupid I know! But First, there were fish in the sea, then

one day A few brave fish came out of the water, some died, but others evolved

into monkeys and revolution continued to us today! but the first thing EVER on

earth was bacteria and single celled things.

============================================

The first living objects were simple bacterias which originated in the early

oceans. These were soft bodied organisms which evolved into jellyfish and

similar soft bodied multi-cellular organisms. About 500 million years ago fishes

started to form in the oceans, and eventually some of these reptiles evolved to

be able to breathe the air that was becoming increasingly oxygen rich. These

reptiles became increasingly massive and ornate and were the dinosaurs.

During the time of the dinosaurs - the name incidentally means "Terrible Lizard"

small mammals started to appear. When the dinosaurs became extinct the

mammals had a head start and evolved into the variety of mammals that we

now know which also includes the human race.
