No the thought is modern era.
Since the life forms without photosynthesis evolved first.

The 'ancient' I wrote of I wrote not degrogatorilly of. Those writings set down that first their were oceans, and then light coming after. With oceans, you will have life, yes? Life not dependant on sunlight. So you see, the modern meets the ancient in correctness. Such an example could be seen on the ice-covered oceans of the large gas planets (with rocky core) Jupiter and Saturn. If one of those large planets began warming (from an unknown origin to be sure .. perhaps involving a large comet strike or simple beginning of radioactivity, or in the natural life process of the planet) then the warmth might melt the ice on their moon, then perhaps ignition and controlled burning would occur on the planet or its atmosphere, like the controlled burning of our sun, then the ignition would let there be light for the moon's ocean.
Simplicity itself .. like our beautiful lives of St. Petersburg. You must come.
