How old is the human race?

Answer 1

Here, meet our relatives:

Australopithecus ramidus - 5 to 4 million years ago
Australopithecus afarensis - 4 to 2.7 million years ago
Australopithecus africanus - 3.0 to 2.0 million years ago
Australopithecus robustus - 2.2 to 1.0 million years ago
Homo habilis - 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo erectus - 2 to 0.4 million years ago
Homo sapiens - 400,000 to 200,000 years ago
Homo sapiens neandertalensis - 200,000 to 30,000 years ago
Homo sapiens sapiens - 130,000 years ago to present

Before them, between 5 and 10 million years ago, there was our common ancestor with the apes. This is what is romantically called "The missing link".

Answer 2

Humans are currently thought to have emerged between 1 and 2 million years ago, but recent findings may prove that man is much older then that.

What may be the oldest fossil footprint yet found was discovered in June of 1968 by William J. Meister, an amateur fossil collector. This print is estimated to be around 300 to 600 MILLION years old! A sandaled shoe crushing a trilobite; is this proof that there were previous civilizations on earth, or visitors from another world? Could this foot print be from God? The sandal that crushed a living trilobite was 10 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide; the heel is indented slightly more than the sole, as a human shoe print would be.

What does this mean? Did humans walk the earth millions of years before Scientist believed that did? Did humans walk with the Dinosaurs?

In cave painting in Mexico, there are animals that look a lot like dinosaurs. In the same area Clay figures have been found that also have a striking resemblance to beast that walked the earth Millions of years before Humans. Does this prove that Humans have been here for 100's of millions of years? Some would say yes it does, and other would claim them as hoaxes.

If they are real then the history of human kind as we know it will need to be re-written.

Answer 3

Scientifically around 4,000,000 years old.

Biblically 6,000 years old.

Truly scientifically which proves religious factors wrong, but exposes that God did not mention when Adam and Eve were created.
