Back when the Universe was about a thousandth its current age, it had an average temperature about that of bathwater for 10 million years, even before the first starts began. Could simple life have emerged in giant balls of water contaminated with some higher elements years even if the universe was rather sparse of heavy elements other than the ones produced during the Big Bang? Could it have survived and evolved into modern life by panspermia?
