You have essentially two possibilities, life started on Earth abiogenesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis)
or it arrived here from elsewhere (Panspermia see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia)

If you google abiogenesis or panspermia you will get more information. The above two wiki pages will get you started.
