Well it depends on the way you look at it. Religiosly or Scientific.

*Religion:* God made Adam and eve,, the had kids, their kids had kids . . . then Noah survived and blah blah blah.

*Science:* When the Asteroid hit the earth, wiped out life on earth, they say we come from monkeys. but if the asteroid wiped out life on earth, how did the monkeys come from?

It's like asking what came first, the Chicken or the egg, who knows?

Genetic studies show that primates diverged from other mammals about in the Late Cretaceous period, and the earliest fossils appear in the Paleocene, around The family Hominidae diverged from the Hylobatidae (Gibbon) family 15-20 million years ago, and around , the Ponginae (orangutans), diverged from the Hominidae family. Bipedalism is the basic adaption of the Hominin line, and the earliest bipedal Hominin is considered to be either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin, with Ardipithecus, a full bipedal, coming somewhat later. The gorilla and chimpanzee diverged around the same time, about 4-6 million years ago, and either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin may be our last shared ancestor with them. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus Homo.

The earliest documented members of the genus Homo are Homo habilis which evolved around ; the earliest species for which there is positive evidence of use of stone tools. The brains of these early hominins were about the same size as that of a chimpanzee. During the next million years a process of encephalization began, and with the arrival of Homo erectusin the fossil record, cranial capacity had doubled to 850 cm3.Homo erectus and Homo ergaster were the first of the hominina to leave Africa, and these species spread through Africa, Asia, and Europe between . It is believed that these species were the first to use fire and complex tools. According to the Recent African Ancestry theory, modern humans evolved in Africa possibly from Homo heidelbergensis, Homo rhodesiensisor Homo antecessor and migrated out of the continent some 50,000 to 100,000 years ago, replacing local populations of Homo erectus, Homo denisova, Homo floresiensis and Homo neanderthalensis.

Archaic Homo sapiens, the forerunner of anatomically modern humans, evolved between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago. Recent DNA evidence suggests that several haplotypes of Neanderthal origin are present among all non-African populations, and Neanderthals and other hominids, such as Denisova homininmay have contributed up to 6% of their genome to present-day humans. Anatomically modern humans evolved from archaic Homo sapiens in the Middle Paleolithic, about 200,000 years ago.The transition to behavioral modernity with the development of symbolic culture, language, and specialized lithic technology happened around 50,000 years ago according to many anthropologists although some suggest a gradual change in behavior over a longer time span.

Asking how did humans get on the Earth makes it sound like we were dropped here by some Fedex system in space. We evolved from preexisting life forms through the process of natural selection or evolotuion. Our lineage back to the earliest life forms is trackable and accepted by credible scientists, every year evidence surfaces which makes the assertions and understanding of the process of our evolution clearer.
