What is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution on the creation of human beings?

Answer 1

The general theory was that everything (humans included) come from a common ancestor. This makes sense if one was to believe in the cell theory (all existing cells come from previous cells, therefore everything in the world had to start with a single cell, our common ancestor). You need to know the general theory to understand the theory as it regards to humanity.

The theory regarding humanity still stands that we all come form one ancestor. but it focuses more on the human aspect. Here it states that we evolved along with primates, (we share the same ancestor as monkeys, apes, etc.). The theory particularly states that humans evolved from ancient primates over the course of over 250,000 years to become what we are today.

Fast fun fact

Charles Darwin did not come up with the theory of human evolution, he only said something akin to "light will shed upon the origin of man" saying nothing that men came from apes or ancient primates.

Answer 2

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution posits that humans, like all living organisms, have evolved over time through a process of natural selection. This theory suggests that species adapt to their environments through the gradual accumulation of beneficial traits, ultimately leading to the development of new species. Darwin's work challenged traditional beliefs about the origins of human beings and provided a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.
