The very first person who. Where man first appeared. Exposing the theory of the origin of man from a monkey

This is how the Guardian Angels tell it.

Modern man really appeared as a result of evolution. But the starting point of this evolution were not wild monkeys, as it is believed now, but many-meter giant people.

Climatic and natural conditions changed periodically on our planet. Moreover, all organisms living on Earth were forced to adapt to these conditions. As a rule, the giants always died first, and the small organisms survived.

It was as a result of such natural selection that dinosaurs became extinct, and their contemporaries, cockroaches, not only survived to this day, but also achieved incredible endurance. As you know, cockroaches are the only animals that can survive in the epicenter of a nuclear explosion.

The earth was created 4.7 billion years ago. The first people on Earth appeared 3.5 billion years BC. They reached a height of approximately 52 meters. And all the plants and animals around them were of the same gigantic size.

Along with the giants on Earth, there were people of lower stature, who lived separately from their larger counterparts. The growth of people depended on climatic conditions, on the environment, on national characteristics.

This order of things has been preserved to this day. There are tall nations and short ones. Tall people, as a rule, live in places with a good, even climate. In the same areas, which are famous for harsh weather conditions, only stunted peoples survive, for example, the Eskimos, Chukchi, pygmies, etc.

That is, for example, if there is a sharp cold snap on the Earth and everywhere there is the same cold as beyond the Arctic Circle, then in a few generations all people on the planet will be about the same small stature, similar to the Chukchi and Eskimos.

Evolution in animals and plants takes place in exactly the same way.

Global climate change has occurred on Earth four times already. Every time the living conditions on the planet got worse and worse. People, animals, and plants have shrunk accordingly. Each such change entailed the death of the previous civilization and the birth of a new one from its remnants.

The first people on Earth were 52 meters tall. In the second civilization, the average height of a person was already 36 meters, in the third 18, in the fourth - 6, in ours, the fifth, - 1.5-2 meters.

(If we do not protect nature and the planet, then the next civilization of earthlings will have an average height of 50 cm.)

First world catastrophe

First civilization people existed for 800 million years and almost completely died as a result of the disaster caused by the displacement of the continents.

Why did God allow this?

White and black forces are constantly fighting for the souls of people living on Earth.

The white forces want people to develop according to God's laws, keep the ten commandments, live in love and harmony with each other and with nature.

Black forces, on the contrary, are trying to lead humanity off the true path, replace the ten God's commandments with their wolf laws, force people to kill each other and destroy the nature around them.

Nothing in nature disappears without a trace. All white energy (love, kindness, etc.) emitted by people is collected in one place on the planet. Black energy (anger, hatred, envy, meanness) is collected in another.

Disasters (earthquakes, floods, natural disasters, shipwrecks, aircraft crashes, riots, etc.) occur in places where black energy accumulates. Having splashed out, causing destruction and misfortune, the blackness disappears.

For example, now in our time the main center of concentration of black forces occurs in the Gobi Desert, on the border of Mongolia and China, where the entrance to Hell is.

White energy accumulates in the mountains of Tibet - where the entrance to Paradise is.

The two poles of opposite energies balance each other. If there is more blackness in the world, then a global cataclysm may occur, as a result of which almost all of humanity will perish.

This has happened on Earth four times already. A world catastrophe happened four times - continents went under water, giant meteorites fell, almost all life on the planet died. The climate changed, and the surviving representatives of flora and fauna adjusted to the conditions. As a rule, as a result of disasters, the largest organisms have always died first.

The Earth itself cannot perish, since it is the cradle of humanity, it is eternal.

2.7 billion years ago, a planetary cataclysm occurred - the movement of the earth's crust, as a result of which part of the continents sank to the bottom of the ocean, instead of them, new lands rose from the depths of the sea.

The Earth's climate has changed. Most of humanity has died. The giants gradually died out, the average height of a person became 36 meters. The time has come second civilization.

The death of the second civilization

The Second World Catastrophe happened 2.2 billion years ago. Continents shifted again, the climate changed, people died. Those who survived became founders third civilization- the longest, existed for almost 2 billion time period.

The people of the third civilization (Lemurians) were 18 meters high. They lived on the huge mainland of Lemuria, which was located on the site of the present Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. (Mainland Australia at the time was the bottom of the sea.)

Easter Island Idol Riddle

On April 5, 1722, a Dutchman, Admiral Jacob Roggeven, discovered an island in the Pacific Ocean, which he named Easter Island. (The opening was made on Easter Sunday).

On the island, he discovered amazing statues - busts of incomprehensible giants ranging in height from 4 to 10 meters and weighing up to 40 tons. The natives who lived on the island could not explain who and when made and installed these statues.

Who made these idols is still unknown. The version that they were made by local residents raises serious doubts. The largest unfinished statue is 21 meters long and weighs approximately 270 tons!

There are a little more than a thousand idols on the island, all statues are divided into two types - short-eared and long-eared. Some of them are adorned with red volcanic lava “caps”.

Among the aborigines, a legend has survived that two tribes allegedly once lived on the island - the short-eared and the long-eared ones who rule them. A war broke out between these tribes, in which the short-eared won.

What actually happened on the island?

This is what the Guardian Angels have to say.

Easter Island is part of the Lemuria mainland that has sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Famous idols are sculptures of the Lemurians (not tombstones, but ordinary monuments). These are the oldest surviving structures on Earth. They are over 60 million years old.

There were indeed wars between the short-eared Lemurians and the long-eared. Wars were fought not only on the territory of Easter Island, but on the entire continent of Lemuria.

At the bottom of the Pacific and Indian oceans, there are still many statues similar to the idols of Easter Island.

These bloody wars gave rise to the release of a huge amount of black energy. When too many blacks accumulated, then the third civilization of people came to an end.

Why dinosaurs became extinct

60 million years ago, the largest catastrophe in the history of the Earth occurred - the fall of a giant meteorite.

The blow of a terrible force shook the entire planet. Millions of tons of sand and dust rose into the air. A dense dust curtain has formed in the atmosphere, blocking the sun's rays.

The so-called nuclear polar winter has come.

People and animals who survived after the meteorite fell then died from cold, hunger, and lack of sunlight. Large organisms (dinosaurs) died at the moment of impact. Most of the people died out later.

The mainland of Lemuria has almost completely sunk to the bottom.

The crater formed as a result of a meteorite fall, we call today the Gulf of Mexico.

The truth about Atlantis

Fourth civilization originated on Earth 3 million years ago.

At that time, continents and continents on the surface of the Earth had completely different outlines than they do now.

In general, over the billions of years of the Earth's existence, not a single area has remained on the surface of our planet that would not periodically be the bottom of the sea, then land. Once upon a time, water splashed on the site of all mountain ranges, and there were mountains at the North Pole.

Atlanteans lived on the mainland Atlantis (located on the site of the present Atlantic Ocean west of Spain).

Atlanteans reached a height of 6 meters and looked like modern people, but at the same time they had some differences.

They had six fingers on their hands, and seven on their feet. The skin is rough, cream-colored, the eyes are large, elongated, occupying almost half of the face, the nose is flattened, the lips are wide, fleshy, like those of modern blacks.

The proportions of the body were not the same as those of humans. The shoulders are much wider, the body is longer, the legs are shorter.

Life expectancy reached 1000 years.

Atlanteans lived as a single nation, spoke the same language. The rulers of Atlantis were democratically elected, the term of "presidency" reached 200-300 years.

Despite their formidable appearance, the Atlanteans were a peace-loving people. They never fought a war with each other. The Atlanteans did not know what slavery was. At the best of times, the number of Atlanteans reached about one million people.

Each new civilization of people in development went further than its predecessors. Therefore, at one time the Atlanteans were the most advanced people on Earth.

In technical development, the Atlanteans have reached a very high level.

Contact of the Atlanteans with the Martians

For 15,000 years BC, a grandiose event took place in the life of the Atlanteans - the Martians landed on Earth.

The Martians reached a height of 12 meters. In body structure, they were similar to the Atlanteans - short legs, outstretched arms, but at the same time they had large bald heads with large ears and huge bulging eyes. The skin of the Martians was pale blue.

The meeting of the two interplanetary civilizations took place in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere. Although the Atlanteans, of course, were very frightened by the size, appearance and power of the Martians, whom they considered to be gods who descended from Heaven.

The Martians in their development were significantly ahead of the earthlings. For them, the Earth was the nearest colony, rich in minerals and inhabited by peaceful aborigines.

The Martians shared with earthlings a lot of knowledge from the field of astronomy, mathematics, discovered the secret of cosmic energy, taught how to make flying vehicles.

Aircraft of the Atlanteans could not make space flights, but they moved freely around the globe.

Death of Atlantis

The Atlanteans created a huge drill with a space-powered engine. They decided to drill a well to the center of the Earth for research purposes.

The bur looked like an inverted cone (like a Vietnamese Panama hat) and had the following dimensions: height - 18 meters, diameter - 66-67 meters. The drill, rotating at great speed, pressed the earth into the walls of the hole. Clearing the way, the drill sank down under its weight.

The Atlanteans had little idea of ​​the consequences of their venture. By their actions, they aroused the wrath of the inhabitants of heaven and were punished for this.

A great catastrophe happened - the continent of Atlantis plunged sharply to the bottom of the ocean. This happened in 11,245 BC. Most of the Atlanteans were killed. But some escaped and settled in the lands adjacent to Atlantis.

The ill-fated drill got stuck in the ground at a depth of 15 km. Now he is there - in the area of ​​modern Bermuda.

The mystery of the famous Bermuda Triangle has a lot to do with this Boer. The radiation of cosmic energy, although it has decreased over the past millennia, still has an impact on airplanes flying over a dangerous area and passing ships.

The energy from the drill is not emitted continuously, but in short pulses. Therefore, not all ships and airplanes entering the Bermuda region are exposed to radiation.

The nature of this cosmic energy is completely unknown to modern scientists. In the area of ​​influence of this energy, all the laws of physics, space and time change. Aircraft, ships and people caught in the affected area simply disappear from the surface of our planet.

For at least another two thousand years, the Bermuda Triangle will be an unfavorable area for the movement of ships and aircraft.

Martian footprints on Earth

To this day, many structures created by the Martians have survived on Earth. To build them, the Martians used their technology and the physical labor of ordinary people.

All these structures are of gigantic size and perfect execution. Many of the engineering designs of the Martians cannot be replicated even in our time with the help of modern technology.

Nevertheless, it is believed that these masterpieces of architecture were built by ancient people, our ancestors with the help of chisels, antediluvian mechanisms and muscle strength.

The following structures were built on Earth by the Martians: the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt, the Egyptian temples of Luxor, Karnak, Abu Simbel, the Baalbek temple in modern Lebanon, the Zimbabwe stone complex, the pyramids in Mexico, the Saxawaman fortress in Cuzco (Peru), Stonehenge and New Grange in England, drawings of the Nazca Valley, etc.

About when, how and why these structures were made, about Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, you, dear readers, can learn from the following books of the series "Revelations of Guardian Angels".

The death of the Martian civilization

Around 1900 BC, a nuclear war broke out on Mars, as a result of which all life on the planet was destroyed.

The Martians were divided into four races, differing in skin color - pale blue (the most peaceful), greenish, dark brown and yellow.

War broke out between the latter two races.

After nuclear bombing, Mars turned into a lifeless desert. On the surface of the planet, only the remnants of a former civilization have survived - numerous canals, roads, pyramids.

After this catastrophe, naturally, all contacts of the Martians with earthlings ceased. Of all the Martians, only the pale blue race visited Earth.

Adam and eve

Fifth civilization people (ours) appeared relatively recently.

The first representatives of human civilization were about four meters tall.

Only two names have survived to this day, so the story of the creation of man has raised so many questions.

When reading the Bible, one absurdity immediately catches the eye - in the book “Genesis” it is written: “God created Adam and Eve ... Eve gave birth to Adam two sons - Cain and Abel ... Cain killed Abel and was expelled by God ... Cain knew his wife, and she gave birth his son Enoch ... "

Question: where did Cain's wife come from?

Who gave birth to all these sons, where did all these women come from?

As the Guardian Angels explain, the story of the creation of man, set forth in the Bible, has come down to this day in a greatly changed form. Therefore, all these inconsistencies arose. The real history of mankind is as follows.

Modern people appeared on Earth in 27,000 BC in Mesopotamia - the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern Iraq. (Now these places are semi-desert, but in those days it was the most beautiful and fertile place on Earth. It was called Eden, the Garden of Eden.)

The first modern people were short (up to 4 meters) Atlanteans, who moved here from Atlantis. This group of people was united by the desire to create another civilization in a new paradise place, more human and spiritually more advanced than the existing ones.

In particular, these people had a complete ban on murder and violence against each other. Eden was considered a paradise not only because of the climate and nature. Human relations between the people living there were simply perfect, the very atmosphere in this land was saturated with kindness, love and benevolence.

The first sin on earth is murder

Adam and Eve were not the first people on Earth. They appeared only 13,000 years before our era. The most ordinary people who do not stand out among thousands of others.

Their names have survived in history for only one reason - they became the perpetrators of the destruction of Eden. It was because of them that Heavenly punishment fell on the heads of people.

According to the Bible, the events took place as follows: Adam and Eve committed the first sin - they ate an apple from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, God became angry and drove both out of Paradise.

In fact, the first human sin was not eating an apple at all, but murder. The son of Adam and Eve - Cain - killed his own brother Abel.

People lived in heavenly conditions, they did not need anything, and nevertheless, the brother killed the brother.

God became angry and destroyed Paradise. For forty days there was an unbearable heat, all the plants in Eden burned down, and the once blooming land turned into a lifeless desert. God wanted to show people that no crime goes unpunished.

People were forced to leave the area of ​​Mesopotamia and go in search of new places.

Where did the legend of the apple come from?

The fact is that the original, the original of the Bible, has not survived to this day. More precisely, it exists, but it is not yet available to people. The real Bible will be found in a few years.

The Bible that we use today has been rewritten and revised many times to please the ruling kings and sovereigns.

We Russians understand how this is done. We have already seen this in our own history. If necessary, historians can easily repaint white to black, and vice versa.

The Bible was ruled very skillfully, with masterly strokes. For example, the very first and main sin on Earth - murder - was replaced by eating an apple from the tree of Knowledge. It turned out that knowledge is a more serious crime than murder!

After such a change, it became possible to commit murder with the Bible in hand. Remember history - numerous bloody wars in the name of God, the Inquisition, executions with the blessing of the Church ...

No one, naturally, remembered that God punished all mankind for a single death, depriving him of Paradise on Earth.

* * *

Life expectancy on Earth at that time was about 900 years. Eve died at the age of 847, Adam lived for 952 years (according to the Bible - 930 years).

The murder of Abel and the destruction of Eden took place 12,000 BC. Adam and Eve were no longer alive by that time.

global flood

Held 9500 BC. It rained continuously for forty days and nights. The water level rose by 10-12 meters, a great many people and animals perished.

In fact, the flood was not worldwide, only a part of Europe and Asia was under water.

Noah's ark

The biblical story of Noah's ark has come down to us in a somewhat distorted form. Mount Ararat was far from the only place on Earth that was not affected by the flood.

In addition to Noah, many people and animals were saved in various parts of Asia and Europe.

Noah actually created the ship (more precisely, two ships), which is mentioned in the Bible. Now the remains of these ships rest under a thick layer of snow on the top of Mount Ararat. (During the flood, Mount Ararat was much lower than it is now.)

* * *

Dear readers, you can find a more detailed story about the true events described in the Bible in the book "The True History of Mankind" from the series "Revelations of Guardian Angels".

The event of the greatest importance in the history of the Earth was the appearance of the first people.

It is usually believed that this took place at the beginning of the Quaternary period, about 500 thousand years ago. To emphasize the importance of this event in the history of the Earth, many scientists, as mentioned above, call this period anthropogenic, that is, the period of birth, the appearance of man.

Man comes from the animal world. His ancestors are great apes. However, man, unlike all other animals, learned in the process of collective labor not only to use the benefits of nature, but also to remake nature, to subjugate its forces. The remains of the most ancient monkey-people - Pithecanthropus were found in the layers of the end of the Tertiary period, more than a million years old. The earliest monkey-men continued to live in the first millennia of the Quaternary period. Therefore, it would be more correct to consider the beginning of the Anthropogenic period from the time of the appearance of human ancestors, i.e. add to the Anthropogenic period a part of the Tertiary period - the so-called Pliocene epoch, which is about 5 million years old. The entire history of modern animal species, starting with their closest ancestors, fits into this period of time.

The remains of Quaternary ape-men, called Sinanthropus, which means "Chinese people", were found by the Chinese scientist W. Ch. Pei in North China in caves near Beijing.

Together with the bones of the Sinanthropus, thick layers of ash from fires, fragments of animal bones and rough fragments of broken stones were found in these caves, which served as knives and scrapers for the Sinanthropus. Probably, these ancient people used wooden clubs for hunting, but the tree has not survived to our time.

Sinanthropists were significantly different from modern people, but nevertheless they were already people. They already used fire, and this was the greatest achievement in the history of mankind.

The time of existence of monkey-men ended about 500 thousand years ago and was replaced by the "Paleolithic", or in Russian, the ancient stone era (or the ancient stone period). The Paleolithic, as this era (or this period) is sometimes called, in turn was replaced first by the Neolithic, or New Stone era, and then by the era of metal.

The ancient Stone Age, or Paleolithic, is divided into two unequal parts: the Lower and Middle Paleolithic, which lasted about 300 thousand years, and the Upper Paleolithic, which lasted no more than 100 thousand years. The duration of all other eras is no more than 12-15 thousand years.

During the Lower Paleolithic, there lived direct descendants of apemen - primitive people, or, as they are usually called, Neanderthals.

They were still significantly different from modern people and retained some of the features of their ancestors. The remains of their camps, as we said above, were found in the lower layers of the Crimean caves, in Central Asia and in many other places.

The Neanderthals were short (155-156 centimeters), but were distinguished by their considerable strength. A large elongated head with a low forehead extending back and an overhanging eyebrow, under which small eyes were hidden, sat on a thick short neck, which on the back side made up a kind of one whole, with a flat nape. A wide nose and sloping back, like those of monkeys, and not protruding like ours, the chin - this was the portrait of our ancestor.

The Neanderthal's gait was extremely awkward. The heavy short torso sat on strong legs with a short shin and wide massive feet. Powerful hands had wide hands with thick short fingers, which, however, could make rough stone wedges (axes) and scrapers. The club in the hands of this primitive strongman was a reliable weapon of defense, attack and hunting.

The favorite habitats of the Neanderthals were river valleys and caves.

A huge advantage of the Neanderthal, as well as of his closest ancestors, over other animals was upright posture, as a result of which the hands were free to manufacture various tools, and this expanded, first of all, the possibilities of hunting. Hunting at that time was, together with the gathering of fruits and edible roots of plants, the main source of livelihood.

For about 300 thousand years, the Neanderthals perfected their primitive art of stone processing. Gradually, as a result of labor, their appearance changed. They became more and more like modern people. By the time the Great Glaciation of the Earth reached its maximum size, man was able to adapt to the new conditions of life, and he himself had already become completely similar to modern man. During this time, a very important improvement was made in the manufacture of tools for labor and hunting. Man has learned to make tools not from a whole piece of stone, cutting them off with rough chips, like a wooden wedge, but from specially cleaved stone plates; at the same time, he learned to get thin and long, like a knife blade, flint plates. People began to widely use bone for all kinds of crafts. There were dart-tips, piercers, awls, elaborate scrapers, knives, cutters for carving on bones, bone needles with ears for sewing clothes, and the like.

This stage in the development of human society is called the Upper Paleolithic.

At the sites of that time, they sometimes find, in addition to various household items and hunting tools, female figurines carved from mammoth tusks or carved images of various animals used in magical (witchcraft) rituals.

Hard-to-reach caves sometimes served as sanctuaries for our ancestors, in which various religious rites were performed. On the walls of some caves, drawings made in red and black paint have survived to this day, depicting buffalo, mammoths, deer pierced with darts, drawings of hands with severed fingers, as well as witchcraft signs that are incomprehensible to us.

Upper Paleolithic people - "new people", or, as they are usually called, "reasonable people", physically no longer significantly differed from modern people.

Upper Paleolithic people were not aware of the making of pottery; they did not know the bow and arrow and used darts. They had no domestic animals and, of course, did not even know the rudiments of agriculture. Hunting was still the main means of subsistence, and in it they achieved significant success.

The "new people" were nomads - hunters. They already knew how to hunt such large animals as a bison, a rhinoceros and even a mammoth, but they willingly ate the corpses of these animals, if they found them in the ever-frozen soil - on the site of a melting glacier. Smaller and more easily accessible animals, especially reindeer, and of birds - ptarmigan, they exterminated in huge numbers. We find many thousands of bones of various animals during excavations of their sites. But especially many bones of mammoths and reindeer are sometimes found there, therefore the Upper Paleolithic people are also called “mammoth and reindeer hunters”.

Many tens of millennia have passed, and now, on the verge of modernity, about 15 thousand years ago, mankind was enriched with a new wonderful invention: man invented the bow and arrows. This immediately expanded the possibilities of his hunting, which was still the main source of human existence. Rhinos and mammoths have become extinct for a long time. The huge ice sheet was rapidly melting. Its southern border was already near present-day Leningrad. The climate was getting warmer.

A new era began in the history of mankind - the new stone, or Neolithic.

The most important discoveries and inventions follow one after another. More and more man seizes power over nature. Almost simultaneously with the invention of the bow, man tamed a wolf in some places, and a jackal in others, and thus got a pet dog. Then a wonderful property of clay was discovered: to give a waterproof and sufficiently refractory material during firing. Vessels for cooking food began to be prepared from clay. In addition, people have learned to work more skillfully on hard stones - to drill and grind them. Wooden boats appeared, made from a whole tree trunk.

But hunting, as before, still remains the main source of human existence.

Along with hunting, fishing began to develop, as well as hoe farming.

The Stone Age ended about 6-7 thousand years ago. People learned to mine metal and make hunting and household items from it.

The era of metal has arrived. Knives, spears and arrows were the first metal products. They were first made from pure copper, then from bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) and finally from iron.

Cattle breeding and agriculture were added to hunting and fishing, the beginnings of which, apparently, arose at the end of the Neolithic. From the appropriation of the finished products of nature, man proceeded to consciously increase them.

Our Soviet scientists P. P. Efimenko, S. N. Zamyatnin, M. V. Voevodsky, S. N. Bibikov, P. I. Boriskovsky, G. P. Sosnovsky, O. N. Bader, M. Z. Panichkina and many others deserve great credit in the discovery and study of the most ancient settlements of the Stone Age on the territory of the USSR.

MM Gerasimov managed to develop a method of restoring the appearance of people from the skull, and we now have the opportunity to see portraits of our ancestors who lived tens of thousands of years ago. Foreign scientists worked unsuccessfully to solve this problem for many years and declared it insoluble.

Today humanity has reached significant heights in its development. People have made tremendous progress in all areas of life. And the more significant the achievements become, the more worried about the question, who was our ancestor, the very first person on Earth?

The greatest minds on the planet, who took the liberty of finding the answer, did not come to a consensus. According to some, man is the fruit of evolution, which is confirmed by the finds of archaeologists. According to others, people were created by God in his own image, which is described in detail in the book of Genesis. Still others claim that man was brought to Earth by alien beings. In each of the hypotheses there are many controversial issues, but still, until their erroneousness is fully proven, they have a right to life.

According to scientists, primates are the direct ancestors of humans. Humanoid apes evolved, adapting to changes in the external environment, which was the impetus for their mental and physical development. The Earth's climate was changing, which forced the primates to look for the first dwellings that protected from wind and cold, to get food, creating devices for hunting and cultivating the land.

Since it was rather difficult to get food alone, great apes gathered in groups. Thanks to this, communication began to develop and the first speech appeared. All these factors caused changes in the anatomy and physiology of primates, which became decisive in the appearance of humans:

• the structure of the brain has been transformed;
• bipedal movement developed;
• a significant part of the hairline has disappeared;
• canines decreased in size;
• the grasping hand has developed;
• the larynx and hyoid bone dropped.

Our most ancient ancestors are the Dryopithecus apes. They lived in Africa over 9 million years ago. Primates lived in trees, because at that time a warm, humid climate reigned in the region of this continent. Due to changes in the external environment, the jungle began to disappear, and savannahs appeared in their place, in which a new species of primates - Australopithecus - was formed. They did not differ much from their ancestors, but they already moved vertically, and used sticks and stones with their freed front limbs, if necessary.

Anthropologists who discovered the remains of Australopithecus have established that this species of primates lived on Earth about 4 million years ago. It was also found that it is from them that the appearance of the Homo habilis resembles, who lived on the planet about 2 million years ago, whose representatives can already be considered people. Their growth reached 1.5 meters, and their weight - up to 50 kg. The structure of the found skull of a Skillful Man indicates that the brain of these individuals has significantly increased in comparison with Australopithecus, which indicates an increase in their mental development. Special bulges on the cranium confirm that representatives of the Homo Homo sapiens had a speech center.

After 0.5 million years, the species of Homo sapiens was transformed into Homo erectus. According to scientists, representatives of this species already knew how to articulate. From Africa, they spread across Eurasia, which gave rise to the formation of separate races.

Despite the possibilities of modern science, it was not possible to reliably determine where the life of mankind originated. Many are inclined to the theory according to which primitive people inhabited Africa. It was on this continent that archaeologists managed to find the oldest remains of representatives of the species of Homo sapiens, who gave life to Homo sapiens. The finds were about 1.5 million years old.

This theory was challenged by Russian scientists who discovered in Yakutia the remains of ancient people, which are more than 2.5 million years old. Excavations in the area were carried out in 1982. Here were found tools and the remains of the first people, which are a million years older than the finds found in Africa. Based on the discoveries made by archaeologists, it can be concluded that the first people appeared about 2.5 million years ago. It can also be argued that Asia is the cradle of modern humanity.

The highest creation of a deity?

A huge part of the population is inclined to believe that man is the creation of God. The adherents of this hypothesis emphasize that the human body is very complex and perfect, and only divine power could create it. As described in the book of Genesis, God created the planet with all the creatures inhabiting it. The crown of his creation was a man created from dust, who bore the name Adam. In order for the human race to continue, the first man was given a companion named Eve, created from his own rib.

It was also not possible to determine the time of the creation of the first people by God. Many interpret the Bible in different ways. Adherents of the divine origin of people argue that in fact, the description that the world was created in seven days should not be taken literally. In their opinion, the creation of the Universe and the Earth lasted much longer, which explains the origin of the antiquities found by archaeologists.

Originally from other worlds

The most controversial hypothesis is the alien origin of people. But, nevertheless, many scientists are inclined to believe that man came from another universe. In their opinion, people in their development really went from Dryopithecus to Homo sapiens. But man and the monkey had no common ancestors. Once on Earth, Dryopithecus began to adapt to the conditions of the planet, which was the reason for its development. Based on these statements, the first people who can be considered the ancestors of modern humanity appeared about 10 million years ago.

Each of the above hypotheses has a number of gaps, which casts doubt on their truth. The only thing that can be said with confidence is that the first man on earth appeared millions of years ago, and many generations passed until people reached the modern level of development.

Each person at a certain period of his life thought about the fact, The centuries-old attempts to reveal this secret have not yet led to a result, scientists to this day are debating this topic. It is logical that the truth must be sought in the oldest sources that are closest to the moment of the birth of life.

Theory One: God Created Humanity

One of the first legends that sounded reliable were the stories that people were created by God. Many peoples believed that the first were molded from clay. It is not known for certain why this particular material was considered "human". Most likely, this is due to the fact that clay is a radioactive substance, which is explained by the presence of uranium in the composition, and during decay it can release significant amounts of energy. The ancestors claimed that this was the energy that was used to create living beings. Legends about the first woman and man are known all over the world.

Theory Two: Hermaphrodite People

According to other myths about how the first appeared, they descended from some bisexual creatures - hermaphrodites. The adherents of this theory were the peoples of Africa and Sudan. They believed that the separation of people by gender occurred after a huge number of years.

Theory three: aliens

Modern versions of how people were born, associated this fact with the presence of alien life. People believed that unearthly beings came to Earth and artificially gave birth to life on the planet.

Theory four: living cell

For a long time, many scientists rejoiced, believing that they had solved the mystery of how people appeared on Earth. It seemed to them quite obvious that the emergence of humanity was associated with the formation of a living cell.

They built various models when a living cell was born from inanimate matter under the influence of chemical processes. It was argued that this living particle was in the earth's ocean, which at that time was simply seething with chemical reactions.

Later it was proved that everything necessary for the appearance of life was in space long before the formation of the Earth. Scientists insisted that the appearance of a living cell is a coincidence and unforeseen biochemical processes that explain how 1 person appeared.

However, there were people who actively refuted this version, since the content of the genetic code is an abstract record, which is impossible to predict. who was the first to discover the genetic code, argued that a living cell could not arise on its own. But even if we assume that this happened, there is no explanation as to why such a variety of living forms arose that arose as a result of one cell.

The adherents of this theory, how people were born, cited the development of Darwin, who believed that all living things were formed as a result of random and chaotic mutations. As a result of natural selection, forms that were unusable and unsuitable for life died. And those strongest who survived continued to survive and develop.

Today, such a theory of how people appeared on Earth does not stand up to criticism. Despite numerous excavations, it was not possible to find a single creature from which another creature could have originated. If Darwin was right, now we could observe outlandish and amazing monsters.

The recent discovery that most of the genetic mutations are clearly directed has finally disqualified the theory of "random chance". And the rest of the mutations, which are caused by disturbances in the body, cannot carry anything constructive.

Theory five: evolution

The assumptions of this theory are that the ancient ancestors of man were the great apes, or apes. The modification had 4 stages:

The flaw with this theory was that scientists were unable to explain in detail how mutations could have contributed to the emergence of complex life forms. Until now, not a single type of beneficial mutation has been discovered, all of them lead to the destruction of genes.

Theory six: Hyperboreans and Lemurians

Esoteric history has its own interpretation of how people appeared on Earth. It is argued that before modern mankind, the planet was inhabited by huge giants called Lemurians and Hyperboreans. However, the theory was criticized because, according to this, it simply could not be. Our planet does not have enough resources to feed such giants. And this is not the only refutation. If the growth of these creatures really reached enormous proportions, they would not be able to lift themselves, and with a sharp movement, the force of inertia would knock them off their feet. Moreover, their vessels would not withstand such a load, and the blood stream would pierce their walls.

This is only a small part of theories, but practical experience shows that each person chooses a version according to their worldview.

Numerous studies have proven that initially all embryos are female, and only during the period of hormonal changes, some of them are transformed into male sex. Many researchers believe that this is due to changes in the male genotype, which entail abnormalities in the Y chromosome. It is she who determines the male gender. According to these data, after some time the planet will be inhabited by hermaphrodite women. US experts support this theory, since they were able to prove that the female chromosome is much older than the male.

With the help of modern research, a huge amount of facts have been discovered, but even they do not provide a clear explanation of how and where a person appeared. Therefore, people have no choice but to choose the most acceptable theory for the origin of life, trusting their intuition.

Humans are the dominant species on the planet. The smartest of us study space and provide answers to questions that were considered insoluble 200-300 years ago. However, we still cannot solve the main riddle - the origin of homo sapiens. We propose to consider the most common theories of how man appeared.

How did man appear on Earth?

The question of the origin of man excited the minds of people in primitive, ancient times and does not stop worrying modern scientists. Throughout history, many assumptions have been put forward - from myths to grounded theories.

But, no matter what fantastic or completely reasonable hypotheses are proposed, all of them can be conditionally divided into three categories:

• religious;
• philosophical;
• scientific.

The religious point of view in its concept is similar among many peoples of the world. There are many parallels that cannot be ignored. The view of religion on the emergence of man is based on unshakable faith in God, therefore, does not require proof. The scriptures say that this issue is not worthy of attention, since man himself was not present at his creation, therefore he cannot know anything.

Philosophical hypotheses are based on initial axioms, from which, as a result of reflection, an assumption arises. Philosophers highlight the concept of "consciousness". In their opinion, this is what distinguishes us from animals. When exactly did it arise? Philosophers have been trying to solve this riddle for 2.5 thousand years.

Scientific research is based on facts that scientists obtain through research and experimentation. From these data, hypothetical assumptions are born. They, in turn, are discarded or confirmed in the course of further observations. If a hypothesis is confirmed, it becomes a theory. Further, it is either confirmed or refuted. In the second case, new hypotheses are put forward, and so on, until an answer is found.

Basic theory of the appearance of man

Since the end of the 19th century, scientists have adhered to the general theory of evolution, which underlies modern biology. According to this concept, all living organisms on Earth, including humans, appeared as a result of species adaptation to changing natural conditions. The weak die - the strong survive.

The author of the theory was Charles Darwin, who began working on the then hypothesis in 1837. It took him twenty years to complete the project. Before the scientific meeting, he was supported by the eminent naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace. This is how Darwin's theory appeared, which later turned into a general evolutionary theory.

She explains that life on Earth began about 4 billion years ago. It happened in the ocean in the so-called primary soup of the simplest proteins, molecules and chemical elements. Millions of years later, through random mutations, the first living cells appeared. They subsequently developed into complex life forms.

However, this theory does not explain many points, for example, from where a genetic code appeared in each cell, containing information for the development of an organism. It is also not clear how reptiles evolved into birds and mammals. Anthropologists and paleontologists have not found any remains of creatures with a similar body structure, and among modern animals there is no one like that.

Environmental mutations in animals are not uncommon. For example, laboratory rats raised in cold conditions produced offspring with denser fur. This explains adaptability, but not the randomness of evolution. But even if we accept that life on the planet originated by chance, then it becomes even more difficult to explain the appearance of man.

In biology lessons, they say that humans belong to the class of primates, in addition to monkeys. Therefore, our ancestors must be sought among them. This is also confirmed by DNA, which more than 98% coincides with the chimpanzee's genetic code.

However, despite the discovered remains of Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons and Homo sapiens, it is still not possible to find an intermediate link that would give a reinforced concrete confirmation of the origin of Homo sapiens from ape-like people.

It is believed that modern man appeared in the south of the African continent and from there migrated around the world. But not everything is smooth here either. The age of the remains of the first people found in various, even the most remote, corners of the planet is almost identical. This means that the spread of man either happened very quickly, or people evolved simultaneously in all parts of the world. After this opening, there were even more questions.

Human origins: theories

Despite all the inconsistencies, the theory of the origin of man through evolution has the most evidence. But at the moment they are not enough. And while there is no one hundred percent confirmation, other theories have a right to exist. Let's consider a few of the most common ones:

1. Intervention theory. Many believe that man appeared thanks to extraterrestrial intelligence. Some think that the first people were brought in by aliens, others that the development of homo sapiens is the result of genetic experiments on animals.

There is also an alternative opinion that people came to Earth from other galaxies, but over time they forgot about it. These theories are based on ancient drawings found in different parts of the planet, which depict people worshiping creatures on aircraft.

1. The origin of man according to the Qur'an. According to Islamic beliefs, Allah Almighty created man from earth and water. He collected the Earth from all corners of the Universe, which was of different colors. That is why the descendants of the first person differ from each other.

Also in the Quran it is said that initially Adam was hollow and did not control himself. Seeing this, Allah breathed life into him. Man began to see and hear, speech and reason appeared. According to this theory, God created Adam as a perfect, complete being, so there was no need for him to evolve.

1. People are the descendants of the gods. According to some legends, the first people were real giants, growing from 3 to 7 meters. Giants emerged from the union of gods and angels. This theory is based on ancient images of bats and controversial finds of huge humanoid skeletons.

Over time, the gods stopped visiting the earth, and the giant people degenerated. Cryptobiologists are confident that most of the remains found are genuine and require careful study.

1. Aquatic theory. In the 1920s, scientist Alistair Hardy hypothesized that the aquapithecus, an ape-like creature that lived in an aquatic environment, is a transitional link in the development of modern humans.

By this, the scientist explained why today's people have practically no hair on their bodies. However, this theory has not become widespread and at the moment is not seriously considered in the scientific world.

Despite the adherence of most scientists to evolutionary theory, the answer about the origin of man has not yet been found. Discussion of this issue sometimes escalates into conflicts. However, no matter how heated the dispute, in the end truth is born out of it. Remember: it is not so important how a person appeared, it is much more important who we are now.
