There was like a billion years when life on earth didn't consist of anything beside slime mold.
Not even green slime mold either. They didn't have multi-cellular life, or even oxygen back then. In fact the evolution of green slime mold, who had figured out photosynthesis, caused the first holocaust, oy vey, remember the 6 zillion

Call me a skeptic, but that just sounds a little bit unlikely to me.
But hey, could be wrong, who knows.
