Abiogenesis
Videos
Abiogenesis or the origin of life is the natural process by which life arises from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds. The prevailing scientific hypothesis is that the transition from
If banded iron formation rocks of Archaean age (like these from Australia) are fossilized stromatolites, they would be among the earliest life-forms.

The Cat's Paw Nebula is inside the Milky Way Galaxy, in the constellation Scorpius. Green areas show regions where radiation from hot stars collided with large molecules and small dust grains called "polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons" (PAHs), causing them to fluoresce. Spitzer Space Telescope, 2018.

The earliest known life forms may be putative fossilized microorganisms, found in white smoker hydrothermal vent precipitates. They may have lived as early as 4.28 Gya (billion years ago), relatively soon after the formation of the oceans 4.41 Gya, not long after the formation of the Earth 4.54 Gya.
Archaea

Archaea is a domain of organisms. Traditionally, Archaea included only its prokaryotic members, but has since been found to be paraphyletic, as eukaryotes are known to have evolved from archaea. Even
Archaea were discovered in volcanic hot springs. Pictured here is Grand Prismatic Spring of Yellowstone National Park.
