I think what Ed Fewer says. That humans bred with other hominids.

Well that might be explained Biblically too. There were some pretty non-Godlike people in the Old Testament whom God destroyed in the Flood.

But if even they did breed with humans, how did the first humans come about? I think we are back to Adam and Eve.😉

I think they evolved into the first humans, Adam and Eve.

Are hominids the same species as humans? The Church distinguishes a human being from other animals in that he/she has a soul. Can a soulless creature breed with a human? Is it genetically possible? If it’s genetically possible, then humans and non-humans could have bred. How can the Church and Science agree on this one?

I agree. I think they died out. So actually we are back where we started from. Adam and Eve were humans. Humans can reason. It’s interesting that only a being who can actually sin is granted a soul.

Technically, there were no other human beings. The false scenario is being spread that God chose two random almost humans and dropped souls into them. God interacted with these two human beings directly. There were given certain gifts, including bodily immortality. After the Original Sin, they lost those gifts, died and before that, had many children. Original Sin is automatically passed on to all human beings.

It’s online. I tried linking it in post 20 but it didn’t work.

Also, see post 24, the section titled: Did We Literally Come From One Set of Parents, Adam and Eve?

Did We Literally Come From One Set of Parents Adam and Eve?

Interesting for what was left out:

Arcanum, Pope Leo XIII

“The true origin of marriage, venerable brothers, is well known to all. Though revilers of the Christian faith refuse to acknowledge the never-interrupted doctrine of the Church on this subject, and have long striven to destroy the testimony of all nations and of all times, they have nevertheless failed not only to quench the powerful light of truth, but even to lessen it. We record what is to all known, and cannot be doubted by any, that God, on the sixth day of creation, having made man from the slime of the earth, and having breathed into his face the breath of life, gave him a companion, whom He miraculously took from the side of Adam when he was locked in sleep.”

Even more interesting is our last Popes believed in evolution.

I don’t see how this differs from what I wrote. The first two true human forms were Adam and Eve. They were distinguished from the neanderthals and other proto-human species… could you explain what’s wrong with this?

I wouldn’t necessarily assume that they were distinguished from Neanderthals. There is evidence that Neanderthals engaged in religious rites. They had a larger brain cranium, on average, than modern humans do. I for one suspect that Adam and Eve predate the divergence of Homo Sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis. Of course, this is nothing but speculation.
