the kinds of microbes that lived 3.5B ya are still here:

I suspect that the kind of life that was present 4 billion years ago is still around too. I just don't think we recognize it as life. It might appear as thin deposits around hot springs or volcanic vents and we look at them and assume that's just some reaction, even though that's what passed for life 4 or 4 1/2 billion years ago.
