Our DNA is closer to a Salmon than a chimpanzee
we also share 90% with cats
did we come from cats as well?
You are blinkered and wont listen to any argument, we have already established that with your behaviour earlier in refusing to watch a 4 minute video
Imagine being so set in your ways that you refuse to listen to an alternative viewpoint than your own
You must have listened to someone else to hold the worldview you have now, why do you think you are right?
If the Solar System came from a nebula then everything on Earth came from whatever elements the nebula contained. The nebula that formed our solar system was mostly hydrogen and helium but also contained nearly all the elements needed for planets and life — created by earlier stars. It was a cosmic soup with everything from carbon to iron, even tiny traces of heavier elements.
This means we are related to snakes, insects, dinosaurs, lions, gorillas, cats, dogs, mice, bananas, oak trees, rocks, etc. You are related to your car and TV. All of this came from the same basic building blocks.
Both humans and insects belong to the Bilateria group, animals with bilateral symmetry. The common ancestor was probably something like a simple worm-like creature, predating the Cambrian Explosion (around 541 million years ago), when most major animal groups rapidly appeared.
It wasn’t an insect or a human — just a basic, early animal from which many diverse lineages eventually evolved.
All matter that makes up life today — including you and me — traces back to the atoms forged in ancient stars and nebulae.
So in a cosmic sense, yes, those stars and nebulae are our ultimate common ancestors — the original source of all the elements that built every living thing.
Before stars, before nebulae, before time itself — whatever existed before the Big Bang is the ultimate common ancestor of everything. Call it “God,” “cosmic origin,” or “the unknown,” but it’s the source of all that is.
