There are many different theories about how mankind was created. The two that I can think of are Charles Darwin's evolution theory (that we evolved from apes) and the Christian belief that God created mankind, starting with Adam and Eve (see Genesis in the Bible). Other theories come from different religions.
With the exception of mankind, we are only told what God made, not how He made it. That fact is in order to stress mankind's importance.
To make man, God fashioned the appropriate shape from dirt and breathed a soul into it (Genesis ch.2). He then made the first woman by fashioning her from a piece of the man's flesh (ibid).
Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.
