I was just wondering where we came from my Daddy says that one therie is that Aliens messed with DNA from neanderthals and created us, another one is that we came from another planet and the reason was that something bad was going to happen so they sent their people to a planet just like theirs to survive only to find out that nothing happened to there planet they were stuck on Earth and had to go through evolution again that's is what I think, or God created us Blah blah blah what do you think please do give all your thought i would like know.

ALL life and all creation began with the Big Bang, though what caused that is a question for the philosophers and not the scientists
But you asked about humankind.
Neanderthals evolved slightly earlier but parallel to the development of modern man. All evidence points to common human ancestors coming from East Africa. The first human-like creatures lived there about six million years ago.
While I support and honor Darwin and his contributions to the theory of evolution, I wouldn't recommend reading his works until you are in high school or college. For now, read this Wikipedia article, it's well researched and yet easy to read.
There is no evidence that aliens from another planet exist, let alone messed with our DNA. Much stronger evidence supports evolution; in fact, nearly all the gaps in the fossil record have been filled and continue to be filled each day.
Don't be confused by creationists, they are not scientists. Their brand of science depends more on faith than on an understanding of scientific method.
PS, the Romans had nothing to do with the Bible, unless you're talking about the "Roman church," as the Catholic church is sometimes called.

This is a good question. Jared Diamond in "Guns, Germs, and Steel" (1997) presents the evidence for Africa as the origin of humans. It makes sense that we all evolved from one humanoid species. Consider that people can accept transplanted organs from other humans all over the world. Also, all humans can interbreed. We are all brothers - which makes ideas of racial differences rather weak. Hitler and his cronies would not like this theory at all. There is no master race. We humans are all variations on the same genetic theme. Whether God used genetics to create us as we are is a matter of beliefs. That part is up to you. Beliefs require no proofs. You either believe or not. That is a very personal thing which is best left to each of us as an individual.
Thoughtful question. Thanks. Actual thinking is rare.

The general theory of evolution seems consistent to me, and life seems to be pretty persistent, at least on a planet with water (H2O),and temperatures that mostly fall between the freezing point of water and up a hundred or so degrees. There re life forms in hotter and colder climes, but not nearly so many - life appears to be pretty flexible...

There are only theories. All of these theories are based on a combination of both fact and faith (yes even the big bang theory relies on some faith and creation relies on some facts). People will believe whatever they want, but the fact of the matter is... nobody knows.

Oh my goodness. Read a book, dear. I recommend beginning with Charles Darwin's "The Descent of Man."

Learn about the Bible and learn about the theory of evolution. Then you decide.
