		The Origin Of Humanity


	We live on a planet believed to be 4.5 billion years of age
with millions of people covering all parts of it. Where did they
come from? Did the whole human population originate from one
of people or were we placed here and then improved or changed by
 
an intervention? I believe that humanity on planet earth was
created by evolution.

	Both the creationist and interventionist theories seem to

far fetched to be accountable theories for the creation of
humanity on planet earth. There are a lot more questions that 

remain unanswered such as if spacemen put us on earth why didn't

they bother to teach humans anything? And if the creationist
theory were accurate why can't God control natural disasters on 

his planet? He is so clever to create everything known to mankind

why doesn't he make the perfect world if he had that much
control?

	There seems to be quite a bit more sustantial evidence on

earth to support the theory of evolution. The evidence is holds

up more because actual samples of fossils have been collected

and scientifically tested using a method called carbon dating to

determine the age of the fossils. Which can then be examined and 

placed along a timeline. The time periods show slight differences

in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to be the human 

evolving.

	Evolving from what though? The theory of evolution states 

that creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. Thisj    ܌
is called environmental adaptation. The more a creature can 

adapt to it's environment the greater chance it has of living 

and show an increase in population called survival of the
fittest. A theory developed by a scientist nammed Charles 

Darwin who had conducted extensive research into the 

environmental adaptions of animals, for example the adaptation

of the galapagos turtles from short neck to long neck so they

could reach their food. This theory helps to prove the theory

that humans evolved from apes so they could increase their 

chances of survival.

	The creationist theory is mearly pen and paper whereas the

evolutionary theory is actual living proof that humans did evolve

from apes and why the environmental adaptations have made humans
 
the dominant creatures on earth.
