    Scientists learn about life on Earth millions of years ago through fossils, which are remains of plants and animals that have been turned to stone over time. The oldest fossils are of simple sea creatures like sponges and jellyfish that are over 500 million years old, while plant fossils have also been found in places like Ireland and sea snail fossils in the Himalayas, showing how life began in the seas and spread across land and oceans over billions of years.
