What are the key ideas in the native American creation story?

Native Americans were united as one group of people in some ways, but "Native American" is a very broad category. The creation story differs from tribe to tribe. Try being more specific-- do you want to know about the Navajo, the Cherokee, the Mohawk, the Hopi, or perhaps the Anishinabee? There are so many tribes, and so many different creation stories.

One area of commonality between Native origin stories is that of all the living things, man was created last. From the Native worldview, this does not mean that the creator must have become more practiced and therefore man is "supreme" among created beings. Native Americans generally believe that man is the youngest and least wise of all created things. This is part of the reason why Native American groups tend to view other animals with such respect. Man must live in harmony with and can learn much from the older animals.

How did the human race start?

The human race is believed to have evolved from earlier hominids over millions of years through a process known as human evolution. This evolution occurred through natural selection and genetic mutations, leading to the development of modern humans. The earliest known species in the Homo genus is Homo habilis, which appeared around 2.8 million years ago.

What are some myths on the origin of man?

Probably every culture in history has had its myths about the creation of man. There are actually two in the Book of Genesis, although it is popularly believed that the two different stories are in some way describing the same creation event.

  • Genesis 1:26-27 says that God simply spoke the first man and woman into existence on day six, as the last act of creation.
  • The second creation account (Genesis 2:4b-25) does not really give us a timeline, but tells us that the first man, Adam, was created out of moist earth. After God made man he realised that man would need company (Genesis 2:18-19): "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air . . ." It seems to have taken God quite some time to realise that what Adam really needed for company was a woman. Depending on just how many species God is assumed to have created (after all, there are thousands of species that could be potential help meets for Adam), this could have been an extraordinarily long time. God then created Eve out of Adam's rib. The story goes on to speak of a forbidden fruit, and God's curse for eating this fruit.

An earlier Mesopotamian creation myth describes a woman being created in order to heal the first man's rib, from which the story of the creation of Eve seems to be a reversal. The story includes a forbidden fruit, and a curse for eating this fruit.

If Darwin believed we came from apes then where did apes originate from?

Charles Darwin believed that apes evolved from earlier, more primitive species, which in turn evolved from even earlier species. Ultimately, all mammals, including the apes and humans, evolved from the first mammal species, which in turn evolved from earlier species, and so on back to the beginning of life on Earth.

What is the difference between the story of creation and the theory of evolution?

The story of creation, as told in the Bible, is that God created everything in an order, starting with heaven and earth, from there he went on to give light to the earth, called the light day and the dark night, then he created water and sky and land, and the changing of night to day and day to night marks the passing of seasons and days and years, and then animals are created, and finally on the 6th day, God created man in his own image, man and woman. The whole principle of the story of creation is that humans and animals and all things in the world were created by a higher being, called God who is actually called other things, depending on your beliefs, and the idea is basically that you have to believe that The theory of evolution however, is that the earth is billions of years old (as opposed to several thousand years old) and that all creatures evolved from small organisms that grew from bacteria in the primeval sea of the earth. Over time creatures changed and adapted to their surroundings, and some creatures evolved to move onto land, as the oceans were receding. One species that lived in the rain forests of the slightly older earth was the monkeys, much like the monkeys we see today. Over time some apes left the trees and we can see them today, gorillas orangutans etc. One of the species that left the trees was called homo erectus and they were the ancestors of us today You must choose what you believe in.

What is the Story of the origin of man?

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.

What were The two versions of the creation of man?

Given the number of religions in the world, both past and present, there are not just two, but many versions of the creation of man. However, there are two versions in the Book of Genesis.

The first version (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) is generally attributed to an anonymous source now known as the Priestly Source, writing during or shortly after the Babylonian Exile. In this account, God simply speaks the first people into existence, in his own image. Man is given dominion over the world.


A much older, and more popular version begins in Genesis 2:4b. In this account, attributed to a source now known as the Yahwist, God can not make living things out of nothing, so makes the first man out of moist dirt and breathes life into his nostrils. After making animals in the same way, God creates the first woman out of a rib that God takes from the man. These first people are known biblically as Adam and Eve. They are not made in God's image, but become god-like after eating the forbidden fruit: (Genesis 3:22) "now the man is become like one of us."
