Buddhism has not said any thing about how was man created, but Buddhism has answered it indirectly. Buddha has given a law known as `the law of dependent origination. according to this Law a thing will happen if the required circumstances are there, for example if water is heated it will change into vapour and if heat is taken away from vapour it will again change into awter.here heat is the required item for the circumstance. Buddhism accepts what science say about how man was created. Man was evolved from apes and still manhas been evolving anatomically and functionally. Buddhism never accepts man was created by God, why because Buddhism rejected the existence of God and Soul.

It's quite long to be explained clearly, but i'll try to summarize things so anyone without Buddhism background can understand.
It is explained in the Sutta Pitaka, precisely in the Aganna Sutta.
The beings from Abhassara Brahma World got reborn in our human world.
At first, they were self-luminous, feeding on delight, moving through the air, and there were no separation between day and night, no moon or sun appeared, no male and female, they were just reckoned as beings.
To make it short, what they ate resulting in the disappearance of their light, and the formation of their body, including genital.
And so on...
Everything is dependent on cause and effect.
Nothing occurs independently of the law of cause and effect in this world (or universe).
The Buddha had clearly expounded this law.
According to the Buddha's explanation, we can say that mankind comes into existence due to the 'cause'. It is very simple. The existence of mankind is merely the effect of the cause in samsara, an endlessly long cycle of rebirth and death. The samsara is so long that we are absolutely unable to observe countless causes.
The Buddha did not further explain this process in a more complicated or deeper way like the other religions, because it is not the essence or goal of Buddhism. The essence of Buddhism is to attain Nirvana. But such beliefs of mankind existence are much useless for humans to attain Nirvana and they can cause a lot of controversy among different people of so many different opinions.
[ At the beginning of every world, humans were reborn directly into the human plane of existence from the plane of existence of 'Brahmas'. Later, humans are reborn through the wombs of (human) mothers. ]
So, knowing that the mankind existence is the cause of the effect, is really enough for a good Buddhist.
Creation myths do not exist in Buddhism as they do in the Abrahamic faiths, in part this is due to the absence of a deity to do the creating. There are broad areas of speculation which do not lead to any fruitful outcome and a re a waste of one's effort to ponder on. There is a supposed tale of Buddhism where a man is shot with an arrow, the wound is deep and potentially fatal. However every time the doctor initiates treatment he demands answers to questions like who shot m, who made his bow, who trained him, what smith forged the arrowheads. As can be expected, before all of his "important" questions can be answered, he dies, The moral is that i is more important to get on with what must be done than to seek useless knowledge.
The other consideration is that, as there are numerous levels of existence and worlds, the answers you would gather are only applicable for this particular location and not universal solutions.
Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) was born in the sixth century BCE in Lumbini and raised in the small kingdom or principality of Kapilvastu, both of which are in modern day Nepal.
The creation of mankind according to Buddhist philosophy is sort of a disappearing act. According to Buddhist thinking, world systems appear and reappear over and over.
There is no special Buddhist calendar. At when th Buddhist date of creation is - they do not concern themselves with questions that cannot be answered, it is a waste of time.
That is the correct spelling of "creation" (making something). The capitalized form "Creation" refers to the genesis of mankind by God.
In Buddhism there is both a spiritual creation and a physical creation of the world depending on which of the three creation theories the Buddhist believes.
I am not able to answer for all Buddhists traditions but I have been taught that the world was create according to the normal laws of physics that govern planetary creation. There are a lot more Buddhist teachings on how the universe was created and energy systems in general but I'm sure many if not most Buddhists would be happy with the current scientific explanations about the creation of planet earth.
Populating the earth and continuing mankind, and the joy of creation.
She endowed his creation, mankind, with reason. She also helped to sneak him into Olympus so he could steal fire for mankind.
Brahman is the highest reality and exists beyond the world. Buddhist Creation states the same belief in one higher reality being responsible for everything in existence.
Since God made the planet and everything in it and placed mankind in a position of authority, then mankind must look after the creation in a responsible manner.
No. Mathematics is an invention of mankind, which is much younger than the age of the earth. But Mars, the planet, is approximately the same age as the earth according to what is known about the creation of the solar system. =)
Religion is a creation of mankind, therefore it would cease to exist if man were no longer here. If animals got smart enough then sure.
There are vary different beliefs about the creation of mankind. Looking through science, you believe it was through evolution. Different religions vary in belief, but one of the more common is that one god made everything which would include humans, this belief is associated most with monotheists.
God is the father of believers and non believers. He is the father of all mankind. The first creation ADAM is the father of mankind.
