select the statement(s) that accurately describe the earliest evidence of life in the form of fossils. the earliest fossil evidence of life is in the form of grass. the earliest fossils are dated at about 5 billion years old. the earliest fossil evidence of life is in the form of humans. the earliest fossils are dated at about 3.5 billion years old. the earliest fossil evidence of life is in the form of cynobacteria.
The Earth is about 4.5 - 4.6 billion years old, so fossils cannot be 5 billion years old. Grass and humans evolved much later in Earth's history. The earliest fossil evidence of life is of simple prokaryotes like cyanobacteria, and the oldest fossils are dated around 3.5 billion years old.
