My people have a creation story that there was a first race of man, but due to war and murder, the Creator caused a flood, and only the animals and one human were saved. His name was Nanaboozhoo, or Nanabush. He survived by floating on a log. To make a long story short, all the animals that could swim tried to dive so they could get some earth. All failed except for Muskrat, who died in the effort. Nanaboozhoo put this dirt on the back of Turtle and slowly the dirt grew until the ends of it could no longer be seen. A little while later, The Creator decided to make another race of man and gave Nanaboozhoo a bow with two arrows. He shot one into a birch tree, and Man was created. He shot the other into a black ash tree, and Woman was created. This is just a very quick skim-over of the legends of my people.

Greek mythology
Zeus was set upon loosing a deluge, where the rivers would run in torrents and the sea encroach rapidly on the coastal plain, engulf the foothills with spray and wash everything clean.
Deucalion had been forewarned of the flood by his father, Prometheus, the first in a long Near Eastern tradition of more-than-human mediators between Mankind and God. Deucalion was to build an ark and provision it carefully (no animals are rescued in this version of the Flood myth), so that when the waters receded after nine days, he and his wife Pyrrha, daughter of Epimetheus, were the one surviving pair of humans. Their ark touched solid ground on Mount Parnassus[1] or Mount Etna[citation needed] or Mount Athos[citation needed] or Mount Othrys in Thessaly[citation needed].
Once the deluge was over and the couple had given thanks to Zeus, Deucalion consulted an oracle of Themis about how to repopulate the earth. He was told to cover your head and throw the bones of your mother behind your shoulder. Deucalion and Pyrrha understood that "mother" is Gaia, the mother of all living things, and the "bones" to be rocks. They threw the rocks behind their shoulders and the stones formed people. Pyrrha's became women; Deucalion's became men.

Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden - this is found in the first book of the Holy Bible, Genesis.
I guess this is taken from Christianity? and others?

Every religion has its own version of how living things were first made. But, most of them have something to do with starting off as dirt.
