Where exactly does the record show this?
What does 'after the rest mean'?

It's my understanding that the fossil record shows a beginning in time and subsequent development.

The rest of everything besides life is the material substrate from which life apparently sprang.

Any evidence prior to the Great Bombardment would've been destroyed. We therefore can't rely on the fossil record.
