Adam and Eve?
Kanzi and Nangombe from the Boabab tree? or
From some monkey species?

"Adam" is a Hebrew word meaning "mankind". The Aboriginals of Australia have a creation story that precedes it by millenia. No one really knows the "correct" human origin, but so far the best evidence is for fossilized remains found in Africa. And we are not monkeys, we are biologically classified as "apes" - there is a difference.

None of these are correct. Humans evolved from primates. Adam and Eve is a crude myth with many contradictions. Material seems to have been taken from 2 sources mainly, and they disagree about many things. I do not recall Kanzi & Pal at the moment. It is surely comparable to Adam & Eve, ask & Embla and other such fantasies.

There are so many that "know" humankind's beginning. Of those many that know, I would bet that few have actually read all, or, even a minuscule part of the Books available which speak to the subject. I'd even say that of four books, Mary Leakey's "Disclosing the Past," Darwin's "The descent of Man," the Bible and the Koran, only one in a thousand have read all four. Of the Mythics of the continents and countries, few step out of their own home-place tales to gain knowledge.
To speak of anything in this subject as absolute fact is to prove yourself as a person of ignorance.

None of the above; however, if a correct answer could be proved, the answerer would get a Nobel Prize and much,much more, so many great minds are working on this issue; for now it is a matter of personal belief and/or trust without a proof. I hope it helps.

It's not about what we (as a whole) believe is correct, but what we as individuals believe is the correct theory for us. And personally, I think it's a cultural thing. If you believe the bible (I have doubts) a god created Adam and Eve. But when Cain was banished he found other people outside of the "garden." Where the heck did they come from,anyway? So, I believe that Ask and Embla are the first man and woman of my culture!

Humans did not evolve from monkeys, although we both evolved from common stock. In some ways monkeys are more evolved than we are. They can eat unripe fruit, for example.

Adam and Eve is the only answer that makes sense. The idea that we evolved via spontaneous generation, random chance, beneficial mutations, etc. is absurd.

Humans evolved from primate ancestors several million years ago

the Monolyth from "2001: space odissey"...
Maybe, God's way to create mankind is through evolution, triggered by an alien civilization, also created by the same process... who knows!!!
