	The Isua Rocks
		Significantly, the rocks at Isua and at the nearby Akilia Island contain isotopic evidence implying that life not only existed by the time the rocks were deposited, it had already evolved the capacity to photosynthesize.
		Evidence for life at this time comes from carbon-isotope data taken from tiny grains of carbon found in minute graphite inclusions in a rock formation discovered on Akilia Island, It may be as old as 3.85 Ga, as reported in a Nature cover story (Mojzsis et al, Nature 384, 1996).
		Very large impactors would have the capacity to boil off the oceans and sterilize life, Fedo says, leading some scientists to believe that life may have had more than one origination, because even if life appeared much earlier, it may not have survived the assault.

	Akilia island -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
		Akilia is the location of a controversial rock outcropping that some geologists believe is the oldest known (Rock formed from consolidated clay sediments) sedimentary rocks, and perhaps the oldes evidence of life on (The 3rd planet from the sun; the planet on which we live) Earth or anywhere else.
		If the Akilia rocks do show evidence of life at 3.85Ga, the time available for life to organize itself on Earth would be tightly limited, since other evidence suggests the Earth would not be hospitable to life before 3.9Ga.
		It has been claimed that the Akilia sediments include banded iron beds, thought to be the result of oxygen released by (additional info and facts about photosynthetic) photosynthetic organisms combining with dissolved iron to form insoluble iron oxides.

		The evidence comes from a rock formation discovered on Akilia Island in southern West Greenland that is at least 3.85 billion years old.
		The previous earliest evidence for life was presented by UCLA paleobiologist J. William Schopf, who showed that on the basis of bacteria-like fossils, primitive life, much like modern "pond scum," existed on Earth 3.46 billion years ago.
		The residues of ancient life that the scientists have discovered existed prior to the end of the "late heavy bombardment" of the Moon by large objects, which ended approximately 3.8 billion years ago, Harrison said.

		Indeed it seems probable that if these Akilia carbon inclusions are the spoor of life then it evolved somewhere away from the surface bombardment, perhaps in the depths of the ocean near hydrothermal vent systems.
		The dating of these Akilia Island samples was more controversial than that of the rest of the Isua complex.
		Life evolving under these circumstances is quite different to the way that Darwin envisaged it happening, in a 'warm little pool' of favourable prebiotic compounds and a few aeons of time for some gentle chemical cookery.
