How long ago did man first develop on earth?

Answer 1

Scientists say that the first hominids evolved around seven million years ago, although we would probably not yet recongise these early ancestors as humans. A later ancestor, Homo habilis, evolved around 2 million years ago. We could begin to see ourselves in Homo habilis, although this species was still a long way from present man. Homo erectus evolved around 1.6 million years ago. Modern humans, Homo sapiens, are believed to have developed more than two hundred thousand years ago. At this early stage, humans had developed only a primitive lifestyle and culture, but anatomically and mentally they were little different to people on the street today.

Answer 2.

1. Judaeo-Christian Bible Prototype:

Man as Adam was placed in Eden on the third day - being explicated as the age before the forming of the cosmos on the fourth day - the following age.

Since Eden and Adam were formed before the physical world came into existence, they are of an empyreal nature.

The (NASA) estimated age of the cosmos is 13.77 billion years, and so Spiritual Adam or Man developed within empyreal Eden being on empyreal earth, over 13.77 billion years ago.

2. Cosmogony Prototype:

Man - predicated as an enlightened creature of the cosmos - was able to exist or develop on a cosmic earth or planet, from when the first stars and primordial galaxies were formed. Recent estimations have these as being formed between 300 million to 500 million years in the age of the cosmos, from when matter came into existence.

3. Our Planet Prototype:

Man, as an enlightened creature of this planet named Earth - first developed when the 'Man' genome was triggered, through epigenetic factors.

The threshold between dull beast and enlightened Man {written within wisdom scriptures of Prototype 1.are texts where one has the explication that at the time of conception, the soul of Man enters into the genome, and so Man is never beast, or bird, etc} would then be when genetic studies determine that Man was only breeding among their own evolved kind.

Studies showing that avenue of time are answered in an arbitrary manner, by the historical observation of manlike behavior constituting Man, among our early ancestors, those as given,(in the first answer).

Answer 2

The earliest Homo sapiens, our modern human species, is believed to have emerged around 300,000 years ago in Africa. This marks the beginning of the development of humans on Earth.
