How long has man been on earth?

[JagPaw99]

Archaeoligical evidence only,please.

Humans have spread across the entire planet, colonizing every corner. But humans have really been on the planet for a fraction of the lifetime of the Earth. Archeologists estimate that modern humans have been on the Earth for about 200,000 years.Humans are a member of a species of bipedal primates in the family Hominidae. You, me and everyone on Earth is a homo sapiens. This is Latin for the term, "wise human". As humans, we have a highly developed brain, a bipedal gait, and opposable thumbs.
It's believed that humans originated about 200,000 years ago in the Middle Paleolithic period in southern Africa. By 70,000 years ago, humans migrated out of Africa and began colonizing the entire planet. They spread to Eurasia and Oceania 40,000 years ago, and reached the Americas by 14,500 years ago.
One of the oldest sites of human settlement is located at Middle Awash in Ethiopia, where humans lived 160,000 years ago.

According to University Today (2010), man has been on Earth 200,000 years.

Interesting.So according to Universe Today man has been here a shitload of years before the(Christian myth) Adam & Eve were supposedly created,i.e. 6,000 years ago...and not from the Middle East either.

anyhow,160,000 years is what I came up with for the modern human...for some reason the years keep getting pushed back.

Scientist aren't for sure Esse. It could be anywhere from 250,00 to 150,000 years since man stop becoming a Mayate.

Anyways that Old news... Christian Mythology are just stories. Just like some Aztec God making a white mono and a brown mono.

You know another thing I find funny. They say Africa is the cradle of civilization and you would expect for them to be leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. Yet it seems like the complete opposite.

It seems that humans have an identity problem. Evolutionist Richard Leakey observes: "For centuries philosophers have dealt with aspects of humanness, of humanity. But, surprisingly, there is no agreed-upon definition of the quality of humanness."
However, the Copenhagen Zoo boldly gave its opinion by way of an exhibit in its primate house. The 1997 Britannica Book of the Year explains: "A Danish couple moved into temporary living quarters at the zoo with the intention of reminding visitors of their close kinship to the apes."
Reference works give credence to such an alleged close kinship of certain animals with humans. The World Book Encyclopedia, for example, says: "Human beings, along with apes, lemurs, monkeys, and tarsiers, make up the order of mammals called primates."
Yet, the fact is, humans are brimming with unique traits that do not fit the animal mold. Among these are love, conscience, morality, spirituality, justice, mercy, humor, creativity, awareness of time, self-awareness, aesthetic appreciation, concern for the future, the ability to accumulate knowledge over generations, and the hope that death is not the ultimate end of our existence.
In an attempt to reconcile these traits with the animal mold, some point to evolutionary psychology, which is an amalgam of evolution, psychology, and social science. Has evolutionary psychology shed light on the puzzle of human nature?

NO, IT IS MORE COMPLICATED!

They weren't made. They just changed forms from something prior to it. The form that survived was guided by Natural Selection IE survival of the strongest. Simply a Law of nature.

Is a Tree made or does it grown?

well pretty much now that we know about dna and genes, the logical question is, who genetically engineered us? and aliens are a possibility.
