The first (oldest) unit of time is the Precambrian Supereon, which covers much of Earth's history from its origins roughly 4.55 bya to 545 mya. Very primitive, one-celled life-forms arose as early as 4.0 bya and near the end of the era (570 mya) the oldest known fossils of multi-celled organisms appear.
