Three of Europe's cosmologists believe that the key to understanding the origin of life lies in identifying the time onset and the conditions which prevailed in our universe when life was first fashioned. Based on recent cosmological measurements complex life appeared on Earth 9.6 Gyrs (9.6 billion years) after the Big Bang.

However, these life forms may have been derived from earlier life forms, perhaps proto-life which emerged within a few billions years after the Big Bang according to research by Nicola Poccia, Alessandro Ricci, Antonio Bianconi all physicists with Sapienza University of Rome. The team theorizes that life could have emerged in different regions in the cosmos in the time range between 1.5- 9.6 Gyrs, the time range that marked the onset of dark energy domination in the universe, coupled with rapid star formation and supernovas.
