Re:Saturn moon 'able to support life' by Retric on Thursday April 13, 2017 @05:56PM (#14111207)
On earth the jump from single celled life to multi celled life was very rapid relative to how long planets can probably support life on average.

The first evidence of multicellularity is from cyanobacteria-like organisms that lived 3–3.5 billion years ago.[5] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicellular_organism

Now this is a Biofilms ala mats of multi celled organisms so it's hard to draw a clear line based on the fossils. Other contenders are much younger, but even if you use sexual reproduction as the benchmark that's still within the first 3 billion years and earth likely has another 1.75 billion to 3.25 billion years before it gets to hot.
