If man evolved from something who made the thing that we evolved from?

Answer 1

No one... Here's Evolution Going Back >440 Million Years...
The planet took some 500,000 years to accrete from star stuff and rubble, completing some 4,550,000,000 years ago, and life took hold within the first billion years. Here’s a basic reverse timeline of life-related events (see Source):
- Y-Chromosome “Adam” (patrilineal MRCA) – 59,000 ya
- Mitochondrial “Eve” (matrilineal MRCA) – 143,000 ya
- H. sapiens sapiens (Modern Human) – 130,000 ya
- H. sapiens (Archaic: H. heidelbergensis) – 800,000 ya
- Early Genus H*m*: H. habilis, et al. – 2.5 mya
- Australopithicines (many species) – 4.5 mya
- Hominids & Chimps/bonobos (MRCA) – 5.5 mya <<<<<<<
- Above & Gorillas (MRCA) – 7.0 mya
- Above & OrangUtans (MRCA) – 14 mya
- Above & Gibbons (MRCA) – 18 mya
- Above & Old World Monkeys (MRCA) – 25 mya
- Above & New World Monkeys (MRCA) – 40 mya
- Above & Bushbabies, Lemurs (MRCA) – 63 mya
- Above & Colugos, Tree Shrews (MRCA) – 70 mya
- Above & Rodents and Rabbitkind (MRCA) – 75 mya
- Above & bears, weasels, cats, +… (MRCA) – 85 mya
- Above & rest of Placental Mammals (MRCA) – 105 mya
- Above & Mammal-like Reptiles (MRCA) – 130 mya
- Above & Reptiles (Incl. birds) (MRCA) – 310 mya
- Above & Amphibians (MRCA) – 340 mya
- Above & Lungfish (MRCA) – 417 mya
- Above & Ray-finned Fish (MRCA) – 440 mya
(The book below gets increasingly technical as other MRCAs join other life-forms, including, in order: worms, insects, barnacles, Chengjiang & Burgess Shale creatures (including early vertebrates at ~520 mya), jellyfish, coral, sponges, fungi, amoebozoans, plants, archaea, eubacteria, ribosomes, and somewhere around 4.0 bya, the Origin of Life by abiogenesis.) ... N.B.: MRCA - Most Recent Common Ancestor.

Answer 2

I like Mariana's answer.
If you are refering to evolution, we are probably a hybrid mutant or something like that.
Wouldn't that be great!
Personally, I think evolution and creation all took place at the same time and man was a creation of both systems working together. The scientists are working on proving this.
What would we talk about in religion and spirituality if this were true?

Answer 3

At one time spontaneous generation------life coming from non-life----- was too quickly made a theory.
In 1859, Louis Pasteur demonstrated that even microorganisms cannot spontaneously generate.
Now, scientists think that long ago, simple life forms spontaneously appeared through chemical reactions.
Experiments done in this area do not even produce anything close to a living organism.
So, this is not a dumb question you are asking.
It takes more faith to believe in life from chemical reactions than it does to believe in a Creator God.
Those of us who believe in God as Creator of all life, can fully appreciate the complexity and design of even the simplest life form.

Answer 4

No one and nothing "made" what we evolved from, and what it evolved from, and what it evolved from, and so on, and so forth.

Why ask this in religion? This sounds like a science question to me, which I believe has its own category.

Answer 5

The honest answer is "sludge". Evolution tells us how the simple life forms "evolved" into more complex life forms. Now, where did the first simple life form come from? This is the one every living thing is evolved from. Nobody knows, but some scientists guess that life grew in primorial ooze (sludge) . How did it come to life? They guess maybe lightning hit the sludge and POOF!!!!, life started. They tried it in the lab and got hot sludge. They still stick with sludge as the source of that first life form.

Answer 6

Formally from Brett's answer "The planet took some 500,000 years to accrete from star stuff and rubble, completing some 4,550,000,000 years ago, and life took hold within the first billion years. Here’s a very basic reverse timeline of life-related events"

Where did the star stuff and rubble come from...and his Richard Dawkin's aware that it goes against basic laws of science?

Answer 7

Nothing made the thing we evolved from. The thing we evolved from didn't make us.

Answer 8

High School taught Creation, Intervention, Evolution.

Intervention is humans mixed with alians. , Creation soley GOD . Evolution =slow advanceing.

Answer 9

better yet if the thing had a mouth but no stomach would he be forced to wait another 1000 years to grow one before he could enjoy a good meal? what if his prey was underdeveloped? would this mean he would have to wait another 10,000 before he would have something to eat. what if it actually happened (figure the odds)? he didn't get his food and died then evolution would have to wait another 100,000,000 years before the cycle started again... and further more what would he do to reproduce? maybe he could cut himself in half and get struck by lightning giving life to his other half but where did the lightning come from? hmmm, now that takes faith to believe that! lol, your really on to something... :S

Answer 10

Are you aware that this question is expected from a 4 or 5 year old..?

Have you really no clue as to the nature of the mainstream scientific explanations of biological evolution..?

I would expect you might've at least known your enemy better, the enemy being knowledge and enlightenment..

You should be extremely embarrassed..!!

Answer 11

I don't know what created the cell that eventually became a human being. Either it created itself, or some reaction of some sort created it.
