The earliest life is thought to date back to 3.5-4.28 billion years ago based on undisputed vs recently discovered fossils respectively. Whoever said "about 370 million years" is just plain wrong.

Microorganisms, including bacteria, were first observed by the inventor of the microscope, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, in 1676. The term "bacteria" was not used until much later, when microbiologists started sorting out all the different types of micro-bugs.

The first true microbiology occurred in the late seventeenth century when Hooke invented the compound microscope. He was the first to name and study the cells of cork.

Why are Bacteria the simplest cells?

Bacteria is considered primitive because it has about the most simple structure of all living things. It isn't quite a simple as a virus (which is not considered life, but is called non-life), but it is an "independent organism" that can do all the basic things a living organism can do. And bacteria, because of its primitive structure, is though by those who subscribe to evolution as one of the earliest (most primitive) forms of life. Bacteria has been on earth a long, long time, and it is an elegantly simple living thing. That's the long and short of it. Wikipedia has an excellent post on bacteria. You'll find a link to the article below.
