These clusters of specialized, cooperating cells eventually became the first animals, which DNA evidence suggests evolved around 800 million years ago. Sponges were among the earliest animals.
Where was the first animal discovered?
Fossils of the teeny marine animal, known as Namacalathus hermanastes, were found in Namibia, Southern Africa, back in 2000. But the scientists who've been studying it think it could be the earliest example of an animal with a complex skeleton (similar to those you might find in today's sea creatures).
What was the first animal on land?
The first creature believed to have walked on land is known as Ichthyostega. The first mammals appeared during the Mesozoic era and were tiny creatures that lived their lives in constant fear of dinosaurs.
