There are as many stories about the origin of man as there are religions. The biblical Book of Genesis has two different accounts:

In Genesis 1:27, God created man, both male and female, as the last act of creation before he rested, in his own image.

In Genesis 2:7, God created man (Adam) from the dust of the ground as the very first act of creation, then created all living things and lastly took a rib from Adam so that he could create woman (Eve).

There is also the scientific answer. According to science, man has evolved in Africa from a distant ancestor of both humans and chimpanzees. DNA studies say that the split occurred about 7 million years ago, and in fact the oldest hominin (ancestral) fossil (Sahelanthropus tchadensis) is dated between 6 and 7 million years old. Our own species, Homo sapiens (or 'modern humans') evolved nearly 200,000 years ago and spread across the entire world.

There are various creation stories from different cultures and religions that explain the origin of man. For example, in the Christian tradition, man is said to be created by God in His own image. In Greek mythology, man is created by the Titan god Prometheus out of clay. In Native American folklore, man is often said to have been created by the Great Spirit or other supernatural beings.
