HUMANS
Humans, or Homo sapiens are an ape-descendant, bipedal, carbon-based specie. The human being, or Homo sapiens, is an Earth-dwelling, carbon-based mammal and comes in a small variety of shapes and sizes. Its current population is estimated to be about 6,437,848,544 but steadily rises every minute. Overall, nothing exciting ever happens to humans on a grand scale.
The Creation of Humans
Depending on what and who you believe, these are theories on how humans may have come to be.
Darwinism
In the mid-19th Century, Charles Darwin came up with the Theory of Evolution. This basically says that life originated in simple form and slowly evolved to the life we see today, including the human being. Most scientists follow this theory, as it explains unneeded features on animals such as wings on chickens. However, there are still many 'missing links' to substantiate this theory.
Creationism
Creation was the only popular theory until Darwin, and is still believed by many, especially those who consider the human being to be above the rest of creation. It states God(s) created Man and then later created Woman out of Man. This theory is simple to explain as it cannot be proven because the only evidence possible to substantiate it is a reference to a couple without belly buttons.
Invadism
A theory drawn up by science fiction writers such as Douglas Adams. This theory can intermix with Darwinism and actually fills in the missing link between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. According to The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, for example, a spaceship containing frozen Homo sapiens lands on Earth and they eventually kill off the Homo erectus. This theory avoids mentioning or ignoring God and also does not put Man above or below other creatures.
