Oldest evidence of life on Earth has been discovered in India: A 3.4 billion-year-old layered rock shows signs of microbial life

Evidence of the oldest life on Earth has been discovered in India. In recent scientific findings in eastern India, biological traces buried for almost 3. 5 billion years were revealed. The revelation suggests a much more distant and organic origin for the planet. The samples were taken from the Singhbhum geological block, which preserves cellular remains trapped between layers of volcanic ash.
