Tiny bubble-like structures found in ancient rocks show life was thriving in the harshest of conditions billions of years ago – without sunlight or even oxygen.Researchers have discovered fossils of ancient bacteria dating back 2.5 billion years, long before the planet's atmosphere became rich in oxygen.They believe the microbes, which fed off sulphur, are the oldest of their kind ever discovered, hinting at diverse ecosystems in the planet's past.

When you think about the basic ingredients for life to thrive on Earth, no doubt water and oxygen pop to mind.But there was a time on our planet when our atmosphere only had one-one thousandth of one percent of the amount of oxygen it has now, yet there were plenty of life forms around then too, although proof of them has been scarce.A recent discovery of fossilized bacteria dating to about 2.5 billion years ago provides long-sought-for evidence that the Earth was crawling with life even though it lacked much oxygen during a phase in our planet's development known as the Neoarchean Eon.
