Where does man came from? How does he existed on Planet Earth? As creature man is the most unique and the most intelligent life form on Earth, but still no one knows where does man came from. Most people believed that man was one of the creation of God, the most intelligent and God created us according to his own likeness. He bestowed us wisdom and the ability to reason out in which no other creature on Earth given this God's gift. Because of this wisdom and intelligence Man learns to think and reason out that even he doubted about how he was created by God where in there are no proofs about the existance of God. Because of Intelligence, man started to search his environment, curiosity made him to explore everything and think about his existance.
According to Charles Darwin, man is a product of evolution. All creatures are subjected to evolution, some evidences of humanoid cretures found in different parts of the world suggested that man came from the ape-like creatures but still the missing link about the human existance lies a big question mark.
Some scientists suggested that we came from the ancient civilization of onother planet. They even made a theory that Planet Mars was once filled with life forms and one of them was man. Man established a modern civilization in the planet Mars, and due to moder technologies and warfare equipments, it leads to the destruction of the planet. Some survivors search for some neighboring planets that can support life and they found planet Earth. Using their spaceships they landed here and started to make onother civilization that leads to the extinctions of other creature on Earth.
Lastly, Some scientist made a theory that man might be only an experimental creature of some other more intelligent life form in the universe. These Scientist suggested that man made them as their God because of what they did in the ancient times like during the time of Moses, the plagues of Egypt, the crossing of the Red Sea, The Manna that came from heaven, The stone henge in England, the pyramids of Egypt etc....
Up to now, man is still searching for answers about his Existance.

Well..I had to pick the evolution one, but it is a common misconception that we came from apes; we just had a common ancestor.

Yes, that's possible. I can't accept that we came from apes. we're more beautiful than apes. maybe they're just another creatures more closely related to humans.

I'd be worried about you sexual preferences if you did not find humans more beautiful than apes, they'd no don't think the opposite.


Which scientists exactly? Also if this was the case, what happened to their interplanetary technology?

Man is also not hugely unique we are better at some things but nothing we do is wholely unique. We are not always the most intelligent, there are members of other species that are clearly more intelligent than some humans. Most people are in fact not very intelligent.

Time for irrelevant post time!

Well, believe it or not, man comes from man who put man in woman.

I'll make a better post tomorrow...

I just read it in a science magazine they are only suggesting about what if man really a former Martian creature?

I hope....

I think it's pretty obvious.

Our ancestors were captured and frozen by an intergalactic warlord who then dumped their frozen bodies into the Hawaian volcanoes. The spirits of the dead rose and inhabited the bodies of Neanderthals who then evolved into modern Man.

hmmmm.....quite very weird.

Scientology?

Yeah...now whenever I see Tom Cruise and John Travolta in a movie I can't take it seriously knowing they buy that tripe.



Hehe, gotta love the way South Park takes something people vehemently believe and make it look ridiculous

yeah, i saw that episode of south park. we evovled. any "scientist" who says we are martians isn't really a scientist. we evolved from a common ancestor and that is apes. why? DNA. mars couls once have supported life, but that was a LONG time ago when it still had an atmoshpere.

Yeah, that's something the Theists like to overlook...the fact that our closest relative is the chimpanzee. What is it? Something like 98% identical DNA-wise?

I believe we were created by Aliens and put on this planet, to see how humans would adapt under certain conditions.

its 99-98 percent of our DNA that is shared with chimps. i say to all the creationists, explain the DNA link between animals like hippos and whales and humans and chimps and ceolocanths and land vertibreates. the fossil evidence, the chicleds in Lake Tanganyka? Hmmm?

i belive i can answer this question...
we decided that it would be much better to use sticks than our alien weapons... and walk around with bear skins on out butts instead of our martian clothes

and lose all martian powers to become a pink bare butted easy meal for lions, but hey, we had pointy sticks!

If we evolved from chimps and primates why did we evolve and they have not?

In my opinion there has allways been suttle but definate differeces between Human and Primates

Human Evolution

wondered this myself...i picked god..to Me all the others dont add up..

and thats all we need

and eventually high powerd assault rifles.



when you say that all the others don't add up sbradj, how does religion? they didn't evolve because they didn't need to adapt, or didn't choose to. they are a different species, and just because they didn't doesn't disprove evolution. why didn't crocdiles evolve? they didn't have to. why not turles? they didn't have too. bad arguements to support a blind following of a wrong answer to where we came from, or how everything was here, whatever you guys call ti. it religion that doesn't add up

You clearly do not understand evolution, go and look at something that will give you a real education into this subject. Really.
WE DID NOT EVOLVE FROM CHIMPS! WE SHARE A COMMON ANCESTOR! THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Other primates have evolved otherwise we would see very different primates on the planet than we see now.

So sbradj, you chose the option with no evidence over the one with a huge huge amount of supporting evidence because you didn't understand it?

yyyeeaaahh, you really need to think more about your beliefs instead of a blind following. how do you think america gets in so many wars?

Actually, crocs have evolved. They've come a long way from their archosaur ancestors.

yeah, but no much at all in millions of years, just got smaller really

We didn't evolve from chimpanzees. There was a species on Earth a long time ago that us and chimpanzees both evolved from, we went down different evolutionary paths. Chimpanzees are still evolving, and they always have been doing so, just down different paths.



They are still evolving, just not so obviously. If you examined their genetic history you'd probably see that their genetics have changed a fair bit over time. There just hasn't been much pressure for them to make any significant physical changes.

A similar appearance doesn't mean they HAVEN'T changed at all!

id didn't say they didn't, i said they have changed much in millions of years.

"mars couls once have supported life, but that was a LONG time ago when it still had an atmoshpere." Thats really how it started. The actual scientific theory isnt the whole "martians flew to earth and thats where we come from" bs. Its that microbes from mars or elsewhere were brought here through a comet/meteorite blow off of the planet. Its already been tested and prooven that types of micros could servive the trip and the impact. Sorry about the spelling im kinda tired and cant really think. How the hell do you use the spellin check on here. There is one right?

Actually your wrong we never evolved from chimps, chimps evolved from the same common ancestor. To explain this each species evolves accordingly to it's enviromental conditions. Chimps for example never really needed to evolve further then what they did.



Humans are primates and the only difference between us and monkeys is we have less hair and bigger brains.

Actually i would say there is a huge deference between humans and primates. Just like there are huge deferences among a chimp and a orang. Like the whole having feet and legs thing

Yes but humans ARE primates, it makes know difference if you agree with it, we are. We are better adapted to an open environment, chimps and orangutans are far better adapted to living in trees. For this we have a pelvis with a different orientation because wlaking upright means you are less susceptable to attack on a savannah. All these differences are just trival ones, nothing major.

basiclaly most of our differences are adaptions. we share 98% of our DNA with chimps. and that we are aliens that flew from mars bs is the bs i was talkin about, the other theory is possible, but how would the stuff from mars get on a meteoriod and then go to earth?

I think that most of us can agree that most religions are lost to ridiculous dogma at this point.

There are gaps, but we traced mammals back to a tree climbing animal the size of a cat. And humans didn't come from apes, like I said we have a common ancestor.

Edited for grammar and accuracy.

Edited for grammar and accuracy.

I haven't chosen any choice. While I do believe that evolution was the origins of the human race, the fact is that we did NOT evolve from Apes, certainly we share a common ancestor but they are not our ancestors.

So unless a mod changes the poll I don't think its possible to vote for any.

Because the fact is that Apes are not our ancestors so none of the Answers are accurate.

The lineages of humans and chimpanzees, our closest relatives, diverged from one another about 4.1 million years ago, according to a new estimate that is said to be far more precise than previous ranges for this critical evolutionary moment.

However, the claim is a bad match with previous estimates based on fossil evidence and other genetic work.

http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/07...himp_split.html

The earliest known ancestors of modern humans might have reproduced with early chimpanzees to create a hybrid species, a new genetic analysis suggests.

Based on the study of human and chimp genomes, the scientists believe the split between the human and chimpanzee lines occurred much more recently than previously thought—no more than 6.3 million years ago and perhaps as recently as 5.4 million years ago.

http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/060..._ancestors.html

Humans did not evolve from apes, gorillas or chimps. We are all modern species that have followed different evolutionary paths, though humans share a common ancestor with some primates, such as the African ape.

JEESE! i said that already about five times!

Do you know we have very similar DNA with a mouse....
Maybe all we just came from the asteroid that hit the earth?

All mammals have very similar DNA, there is not that much difference between human and tree DNA either really.

Yep. Ive actually done a experiment in the lab (Biotechnology class) with muscle tissues of different animals to compare the similiarities of proteins-- and chickens, turkeys, cows and elk are almost exactly alike. When you think about it though, their muscle use is pretty similar so there wouldnt be a need for a big difference.

National Geographic, iirc, did a series called Phenomena, which was very interesting in that the theory of the evolution of humanity began with aquatic sponges.
It's one of the better theories - because it seems to've nailed humanity's parasitic nature...sponging off this planet, choking the life out of it...
The poll should've offered "None of the Above" category...imo, as always.

The whole system though is remarkably similar however, you even compared it to birds who have been on a different lineage for over 120 million years
