1.5bn-year-old evidence in Gabon suggests complex life on Earth began 1.5bn years earlier than previously thought.
Scientists found new evidence suggesting complex life on Earth may have started 1.5bn years earlier than previously thought. Working in Gabon, they discovered environmental conditions for animal life 2.1bn years ago, but the organisms were limited to an inland sea and did not spread globally. This theory challenges conventional thinking, as most experts believe animal life began around 635m years ago. This research adds to the debate about unexplained formations in Gabon being actual fossils.
