Where are the origins of mankind?

Burned out and exploded giant stars provide the "dust",
from which the earth could emerge as a relatively small planet with the newly
formed star "Sun" (about 4.6 billion years ago):
>>>

These ashes from the stars, from which the earth is made, contains all
the "building materials" from which life and man could later arise .

The first “primordial cell” was formed about 3.8 billion years ago,

probably where underwater volcanoes are active in the sea.

A skin (membrane) protects the internal metabolism of the cell,
which can duplicate (multiply) itself.

The size was about one ten-thousandth of a millimeter.

Within 2 billion years, the primordial cells become larger and larger,
up to a size of one hundredth of a millimeter,
and increasingly complicated and capable of surviving:
= Bacteria size (size of human body cells).

A primordial cell fits into a bacterium about a million times.

Unicellular organisms become multicellular organisms:

About 1500 million (1.5 billion) years ago, after separating,
several cells stay together and form tiny organisms
“Nerve cells”, the precursors of the brain, are formed for the networking between the cells.

540 million years ago, a large variety of different aquatic animals emerged
from the multicellular organisms.

In the meantime, algae and aquatic plants have also developed from the primordial cells.

These produce oxygen
(which is needed by the animals in the water and later by the land animals).

Some animals develop the ability to walk on land as well (about 400 mill. years ago).

The amphibians emerge and the plants on land develop.

Lizards are the first land-only animals.

This is where the dinosaurs came from, which ruled the earth for 160 million years.

In addition, around 220 million years ago, flying lizards, birds and mammals
(in trees and in burrows) emerged.

66 million years ago a huge meteorite impact destroyed the dinosaurs
and very many other animal species (approx. 75%).
Subsequently, a wide variety of mammals evolved.

The Tree dwellers grow larger and develop hands with thumbs for secure grasping
and eyes that look ahead to more accurately see space and distance:

The precursors of apes and humans.

About 8 million years ago in Africa, the ancestors of humans separated
from the ancestors of chimpanzees.

In the steppes of Africa, prehistoric man has been developing for about 2.6 million years,
migrating also to Europe and Asia.

About 230,000 years ago the Neanderthals were born,
who inhabited Europe and western Asia for around 190,000 years.
The Neanderthal man began to die out about 40,000 years ago.

The ancestors of modern man meanwhile migrated from Africa to Europe and Asia
and sometimes mixed with the Neanderthals before they died out.

Modern man has existed for around 35,000 years .
At this time his self-awareness is already developed in such a way that he knows
how to represent himself in figures and pictures.

He has long since learned to control fire (about 400,000 to 600,000 years ago).

Since he knows himself connected with his deceased relatives beyond death,
he buries them and develops a cult of the dead (since about 100,000 years).

The Humans

„CHILDREN OF THE STARS“:
"Related" not only to monkeys, but also to elephants and ants, that is,
to all living things (including plants).
Humans, animals and plants were created from the dust of
exploded ("died") giant stars.

„CHILDREN OF GOD“:
They are animated by divine spirit and divine dignity.
They are able to live in direct inner relationship with the "whole of creation"
and with its origin, with the mystery that works behind everything,
with God.
