Life on earth 4B years ago?

Whoah: To go along with that article yesterday about humans possibly being on North America a hundred thousand years before previously thought, Fossil Discoveries Challenge Ideas About Earth’s Start

The fossils add to a wave of discoveries that point to a new story of ancient Earth. In the past year, separate teams of researchers have dug up, pulverized and laser-blasted pieces of rock that may contain life dating to 3.7, 3.95 and maybe even 4.28 billion years ago. All of these microfossils — or the chemical evidence associated with them — are hotly debated. But they all cast doubt on the traditional tale.
