How did human kind come about? Evolution, Adam & Eve, or other?

Actually it depends on what you believe in. some say Adam and eve because they are relegious. but it depends

Am I the only one bold enough to say this? ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT REAL. Study human evolution and you will better understand where we all came from and why we are hairless and other things as well. Adam and Eve were a construct designed to explain the unexpainable back before we had the means to figure out the truth. Thats what religion is. Sad but true. Not saying there is no God, but religion is mostly just stories put together over our history to explain things as we began to wonder but stilllacked the technology to answer ourselves. Now we do!

No, not obvious.  Human Beings are unique creations.  \nIf you were to agree with Creationists like me, you would be of the belief that Human Beings are created in the image of God and that we are not related to other creatures (especially since we are supposed to have dominion over the creatures of the earth).  \n\nHope that helps.

We did evolve from a previous species, one that diverged from an ancestor that was common to apes, but it's possible that the human line was never, strictly speaking, the SAME as an ape...it depends on how severe the genetic mutation was...\n\nddead: I like how you point out all of the hoaxes and don't state that there have been many skeletons found and recorded for Home habilis, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis (while not necessarily man, still the same genus and possibly one that bred with sapiens), and you don't even mention the whole genus Australopithecus, a commonly cited group of ancestors...\n\nEvolution hasn't been proven, but there is a theory and ongoing science to support this theory, part of which is actual physical evidence...Creationists have stories and faith, but I guess that's enough for them...

dunno...\nbut it started with adam and eve...\nbecause of the "man and wife" thing...

One thing for sure, HUMANS DID NOT EVOLVE FROM PRIMATES.\n\nLife was formed out of Africa.  All humans were first Black Men and Women.  Other races are "Mutations" of the original Black Men and Women of Africa.

I have often pondered this question too.  I believe that scientists would say that human evolution involves a new genetic trait that resulted in some, but not all monkeys.\n \nSome say monkeys, some say birds, fish or small rodents...it's all weird.

God made the first humans over 160,000 years ago and he made a lot of them, both male and female. Look around - this is the world that God has made, including evolution. God made evolution to carry his creation forward. Some of those humans, both male and female, don't have children, and some of them do. It's all part of God's creation. Isn't it great?

well mythology speaks of adam as the first human on this planet. hence the answer is man. eve was supposed to be fashioned from adam's rib. so probably she came later!

It is theorized that there were actually a number of "lines" that evolved from the common evolutionary ancestor of man and ape, but that those lines ended for one reason or another.\n\nThe thing to keep in mind is this... adaptation is always a result of environmental pressures.  Something happened in the environment of our ancestors to cause intelligence and "big brains" to be selected above instinct and "small brains".  Remember, many species of small brained hominids existed unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years, and some still exist.\n\nThere are many theories as to what the "something" was that allowed our line to thrive, but it was probably a combination of events (changing climate, food supplies, etc) that together helped thinking hominids out compete our less intelligent cousins.\n\nIn actuality, there is no way to be sure.  It could have been something fantastically simple like one day one of ancestors threw a stick, and suddenly we had invented the "distance weapon."  This allowed members of our species to kill game at a distance, where our less intelligent neighbors could not, and hence we survived to populate the earth.  It really could have been that random and simple.  We just don't know for sure.

Maybe Adam and eve were not the only people. Outside of garden eden there were other people. Dont forget alot of the ancient information was taken out of bible, so maybe we are missing information.

There interpritations range from acceptance to out right denial, and I for one (while not Christain anymore) do believe in we evolved over time. My reason for this is that we humans cannot truly say what a 'day' is to the Divine, and the word humanoid means human like in apperance, movement or shape, not that it is human.\n\nI do not think it is a hoax, there is so much about this world that is not discused in the Bible. So I would say that evolution happened, and that while a part of would like to rant on this topic I won't do it. That would be disrespectful to everyone, and I don't want that.

We were not created by chance.  God was lonely and need companionship so he created Adam.  The rest of us descend from Adam and Eve.

monkeys did NOT evolve into humans.  neither did apes or any other primate currently living on this planet.\n\nHUMANS AND MONKEYS AND APES SHARED A COMMON ANCESTOR.\n\nIt has been 5 minutes since I last posted this answer.

FIRST.. WE WERE BROUGHT HERE BY ALIENS. THEY LOOK LIKE US EXCEPT THEY ARE MORE EVOLVED. WE DIDNT CRAWL OUT OF THE OCEAN,DIDNT EVOLVE FROM APES.WE WERE PUT HERE.THEY CANT FIND THE "MISSING LINK" BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE.NEANDERTAL MAN WAS NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER, SO TO UPGRADE THE GEANPOOL WE WERE BROUGHT ALONG AND THE NEANDERTALS DIED OFF. GOD IS A HAND ME DOWN GOD FROM THE ALIENS AND MARY WAS ARTIFICIALLY INSEAMENATED BY A CARD CARRING SPACESHIP FLYING ALIEN..

Because it is scientific fact. But, i still think god set off evolution. Adam, as we call him, was the first reliogus human.
