Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.
