Precambrian Creatures: The First Animals

The very, VERY first animals aren’t really talked about much, and that’s a shame. What existed before the Cambrian explosion? What could these first Precambrian Era animals possibly look like? And WHAT is the oldest animal fossil?

    The aspect I love the most of primordial life is how they're like almost unmodified visual representation of mathematical formulas, like they were truly living exponential ratios made into flesh, there was even this one plant (not sure that is even applicable, given how alien it is to a modern plant) where every bud was actually a microscopic version of the whole plant itself, so it was effectively unfolding copies of itself perpetually, which while on paper sound neat must become one hell of a pain when not life threatening mutations to the genome start to occur. Probably also why these lifeform doesn't exist anymore, they probably weren't the most stable too.

    As you said we cannot know exactly what the first organism ever is, but I like richard dawkins’ theory, as he is one of the worlds most renowned evolutionary biologists. He thinks its most likely the first organisms were simply self replicating chemicals, and eventually those self replicating chemicals began competing for resources. Once competition begins, natural selection begins.

    It's interesting to think about a world where life existed, but not as discrete organisms with their own genomes, but as simply fragments of genetic material that could flow between lipid bubbles and independently promote themselves. Being nothing but bundles of sugar and phosphorus, they were not alive. But the phenomenon as a whole had lifelike qualities and could evolve. That's the theory, anyway.

    I knew we probably started out as bacteria, but it never really occurred to me just how simplistic we were after the bacteria began evolving. It is so wild to imagine we used to be blobs that couldn't even move and it took a long time for us to evolve from just being blobs. It's beautiful to see how life started out. How simplistic we once were. And how we are no different than being an animal. We all evolved from something into something more complex. Kind of makes me wonder if someday there will be an animal that is similar to humans.

    There is evidence Dickinsonia moved because we find trails of Dickinsonia "footprints" left on the seafloor with a dead Dickinsonia at the end of the trail. Also, Charnia was the 1st time geologists & paleontologists all agreed a fossil was a definite multicellular organism before the Cambrian. Other Ediacaran fossils were found before Charnia, but people did not agree what they were.

    I've been thinking about alien life a lot recently. My theory is that at the fundamental level, the most likely things we would find on exoplanets would be unicellular life like our bacteria. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if it worked the same way and even used DNA or something very similar to code genetic material. I even think that if multicellular life developes, it would likely be very similar to what we'd find on Earth during the precambrian, and follow similar body plans only to be shaped be the specifics of the environment. I think if there are any real differences between Earth life and alien life, it would be large scale forms, and even then, I believe it's likely that we would see example of convergent evolution between Earth life and whatever we find elsewhere.

    Convergent evolution as a concept would be hard to find if the environment on said alien planet is entirely different from earth! On earth you have same environment influences on the same base creatures, dna and whatnot. Though, i think it would be kind of scary to see convergent evolution on an alien! It makes you wonder if the universe just likes making patterns

So, to think that cyanobacteria were there so early and are still around today - maybe for longer than we will be - Is beyond fascinating and I'm not at all disappointed that the first animal wasn't a more "Interesting" one.
