🧬 1. Evolutionary Theory

The main scientific theory of human origins is the theory of evolution, proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century.

According to this theory:

All living organisms have common ancestors.

Humans evolved from ancient primates.

Changes occurred gradually, through so-called selection, over millions of years.

📊 According to surveys in Europe, Japan, and most countries around the world, 60-80% of people accept evolution as a scientific explanation for human origins.

In the scientific community, this theory is considered the most proven, as it is supported by:

archaeological finds (fossil remains),

genetics (human and chimpanzee DNA similarity is ~98-99%),

comparative anatomy,

observation of microevolution in organisms.

👉 Among scientists, over 95% support evolution.

📖 2. Creationism (religious theory)

Creationism is the belief that God or a higher power created man.
For example, in the Christian tradition, history is described in the Bible.

📊 In the United States, approximately 30-40% of people believe in the creation of literally divine man in his current form.
In more esoteric countries, this percentage is higher. In secular countries, it is significantly lower.

This theory is based on religious faith, not scientific verification methods.

🌌 3. Panspermia Theory

Panspermia suggests that life could have been brought to Earth from outer space - for example, by meteorites.

Important: this theory explains where life first arose, but it is not a complete account of humankind.

📊 Only a small percentage of people believe in it - usually less than 10%.
In the scientific community, it is considered a hypothesis, but not a fundamental theory of human origins.

🤔 4. Intelligent Design Theory

This is a more modern version of creationism, suggesting that life is too complex to have arisen by chance and that an "intelligent designer" is responsible for it.

In scientific circles, it is not considered a scientific theory because it cannot be tested experimentally.

📊 What do most people believe?

The global picture is as follows:

🌍 In most countries in Europe and Asia, the majority accept evolution.

🇺🇸 In the United States, society is almost evenly divided.

🌎 In countries with high levels of religiosity, more people believe in divine creation.

Globally, the most widespread scientific position is evolutionary theory, while among societies, it's creationism.

🧠 Which theory is considered the most plausible?

From a scientific perspective, it's evolutionary theory.

Why?

It's supported by evidence.

It can be tested and refined.

It draws on data from biology, genetics, paleontology, and anthropology.

It constantly refines new discoveries.

Science doesn't rely on faith - it relies on verified facts.

🏁 Summary

Today's existence is the result of several of its origins:

📖 Religious theories - based on faith.

🧬 Evolution is based on scientific evidence.

🌌 Cosmic hypotheses are the leading external theories.

👉 In the scientific world, the evolutionary theory is considered the most plausible.
👉 In relation to society, culture, religion, and level of education are taken into account.
