Explanation / Answer

The first generation of stars were huge, thus bigger than the sun. Being bigger burns fuel faster leading to shorter lifetime and a faster mainsequence. Once these old stars exploded they created the heavier elements that helped seed our solar system with enough material to form the earth.
