What are Ancient Species?

Ancient species are those which have evolved billion years ago or earlier. While life on Earth was still on bacterial level, these species were at that point meandering through the universe; these days some are wiped out while others remain.

In a more target and less human-centric definition, antiquated species may maybe be characterized as the result of the first and second eras of stars in our Universe (our sun is a third era star). Some of these, be that as it may, might be even more seasoned than that.
