How long have people been on earth?

Answer 1

People have been on the earth for about 5,000-6,000 years. There are about 4,000/3,000 years BC and about 2,000 AD. (BC-Before Christ/AD- Anno Domini, which means "In the year of our Lord")

----------------------------------

Humanity is estimated to have been on earth for around 200,000 years judging by fossils that have been found and dated.

Science has Proven that humanity has only been the 'modern' species you see today, with languages, societies, etc, for around 50,000 years and it wasn't until 12,000 years ago that we started to practice sedentary agriculture (Which is basically the system of farming in which the farmer remains settled in one place).

According to Christianity on the other hand. God started creating things 8,000 years ago with the human race beginning around 6,000 years ago and has been blessing, smiting and 'guiding' us ever since.

Answer 2

Homo sapiens, anatomically modern humans, first appear in the fossil record in Africa about 130,000 years ago, although studies of molecular Biology give evidence that the approximate time of divergence from the common ancestor of all modern human populations was 200,000 years ago. It's hard to draw an exact line on the progression of the evolution of our ancestors, dividing where we start calling them "human" though but every year, more and more Natural Chronometers indicating a Young Earth are being identified. While the majority of scientists still presuppose an Old Earth, 80% of the observable data indicates a Young Earth. With the weight of evidence indicating a Young Earth, the ranks of Young Earth advocate groups has swelled.

Answer 3

Modern humans, Homo sapiens, have been on Earth for about 200,000 years. Our species evolved in Africa and eventually spread to other parts of the world.
