How and when was man formed?

Answer 1

When we talk about the first man, we could mean the earliest hominids, archaic Homo sapiens, which are almost modern but could in some ways be considered intermediate species, or fully modern humans. The consensus of scientists is that man, whether we mean the earliest hominids, archaic Homo sapiens or fully modern Homo sapiens, came from Africa.

Perhaps the oldest known hominid fossil is Sahelanthropus tchadensis, discovered in Chad, West Central Africa. This has been dated, using relative chronological methods, to between 6 and 7 million years ago. This fossil must be close to our very earliest hominid ancestors, since DNA comparison of humans and chimpanzees has indicated a common ancestor approximately 7 million years ago.

Some African fossils that may be archaic Homo sapiens, are sometimes referred to as Homo sapiens rhodesiensis. Various speciments have been dated to between 200,000 and 400,000 years ago.

The earliest modern Homo sapiens man has been dated to around 200,000 years ago. This has been confirmed by two separate DNA methods, using 'non-recombining' sections of the genome.

Answer 2

Scientific consensus suggests that humans, or Homo sapiens, evolved from earlier hominid species over millions of years through a process called natural selection. This process started around 6-7 million years ago, with our closest ancestor being the now-extinct species known as Homo heidelbergensis. Major advances in human evolution, including the development of complex language and tools, occurred around 200,000 years ago in Africa.

Answer 3

It is yet not found how man is formed and we so far have no strong clue. In different religions, people belive in different ways how man is formed. And to when it was formed, we have no clue :P
