Are humans truly from another planet?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that humans are from another planet. The overwhelming consensus in the scientific community, including fields such as biology, genetics, and paleontology, is that humans evolved on Earth.

• The fossil record and genetic data clearly indicate that humans and our ancestors have a long history of evolution on this planet2.
• There is no credible evidence from any scientific discipline to support the idea that humans originated from another planet.

Efforts to explore the possibility of extraterrestrial life, such as those by NASA, are focused on discovering whether life exists elsewhere in the universe, but these do not imply that humans themselves are of extraterrestrial origin1.
