According to the description of China myth, at first she pinched people with loess, but because of the slow speed, she threw mud with wicker to create a large number of people. In the past, all the people squeezed out of the loess were dignitaries; The people who were later created by throwing dirty water were ordinary people. There are different ways to create human beings. This legend is also believed that in slave society and feudal society, rulers tried to instill "the theory of destiny" into the people in order to safeguard their ruling interests.
Second, God created man:
Making man is God's last and most sacred task. At first, there was no rain in the sky, and there was fog and transpiration on the ground, which gave birth to plants and nourished the earth. God made man out of clay, breathed the breath of life with the nose of clay, and created a living soul. God named him Adam. But Adam was lonely at that time, and God was determined to make a spouse for him, so when he slept, he took off one of his ribs and put the meat together. God made a woman out of this rib and named her Eve. God led Eve to Adam's eyes, and Adam immediately realized the connection between this woman and his life. His heart was full of comfort and satisfaction, and he blurted out, "This is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh! You can call her a woman because she was taken out of a man. " Men and women are originally one, so when they grow up, both men and women should leave their parents and combine with each other to become one. Adam means "human" and Eve means "mother of life". They are the beginning of human life in Middle East and Western legends, the primitive father and mother of human beings, and the ancestors of human beings.
Third, Prometheus created human beings.
In ancient Greek mythology, the primitive form of the universe was chaos. Chaos gave birth to Gaia, the god of the earth, followed by Ripas (darkness) at the bottom of the earth and Niquith (night) on the ground. Eribos and Niquette's brother and sister gave birth to light and sky. Then Kaya gave birth to the sky, Uranus, the god of the sky.
In this way, heaven and earth were created, and fish, birds and wild animals appeared in groups, but no advanced creature with soul could dominate the world.
Uranus, the god of the sky, combined with his mother Gaia to become the first great god to dominate the world. They gave birth to six men and six women, that is, twelve titans. In addition, they also gave birth to three one-eyed trolls and three hundred-armed trolls.
At this time, Prometheus was born. Prometheus was the son of Partos, the son of Kaia and Uranus. He knew that the seeds of the gods were hidden in the soil, so he picked up the soil, moistened it with river water, and kneaded it into human form according to the appearance of the gods. In order to give life to the clay figurine, he took out two kinds of characters, good and evil, from the animal soul and sealed them in the human chest. At the same time, Epimetheus, Prometheus' younger brother, endowed all kinds of animals with talents such as courage, strength, agility and cleverness, but in the end he didn't have a decent talent for human beings. Fortunately, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, saw human beings and marveled at the creation of Titan in Son of God, so she breathed a sigh of relief at the clay figurine with half a soul, which spiritualized human beings.
Fourth, Egyptian mythology.
"Egyptian mythology" says that human beings are called by God. Egypt has been a mysterious place since ancient times. She is the most self-enclosed of all ancient countries. She has her own way of life, and it is difficult for external civilization to influence her. Therefore, her views on the origin of human beings are different from others.
Egyptians believe that the almighty God Nu existed long before Egypt appeared in the world. He created the universe and everything in it. When he called Soapy, it was windy. Call it "Taifuna" and there will be rain; Call Habib. The Nile flows through Egypt. He called again and again, and everything appeared. Finally, he said "men and women". In a blink of an eye, Egypt is full of people.
When the creation work was completed, Nu turned himself into a man and became the first Pharaoh, ruling the earth and creating a peaceful and prosperous scene.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) North American statement
Myths that exist in human beings are scattered in North American Indians and New Zealand Maori. In Indian mythology, it is said that God created heaven and earth, and then led mankind to come up from the ground and live on the earth. According to Maori mythology, "Ranchi" and "Baba" are heaven and earth and the source of all things. At that time, heaven and earth were inseparable, and it was dark everywhere. His son longed for the light, so he pushed it away and it appeared. Humans hidden in the dark were discovered. It turns out that they were born in the sky and underground.
Sixth, the scientific statement.
The direct evidence for studying the origin of human beings comes from fossils. Anthropologists use comparative anatomy to study all kinds of ancient ape fossils and human fossils, determine their relative and absolute ages, thus determine the age of human fossils, and roughly divide the evolutionary history of human beings into several stages. Geneticists, on the other hand, use the methods of biochemistry and molecular biology to study the differences and variation speed of protein and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) among modern humans, various apes and other higher primates, so as to calculate their respective origins and differentiation ages. At present, it is generally believed in academic circles that the time when apes became human ancestors was 7 million years ago.
