It took a long time to get to where we are today and several theories exist as to how we might have gotten here in the first place. But which are true?

Introduction To Human Evolution:
http://humanorigins.si.edu/education/introduction-human-evolution
“Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years."
Where We Came From:
pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/faq/cat02.html
“Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either."
The Great Human Migration:
smithsonianmag.com/history/the-great-human-migration-13561/?no-ist=&page=2
“When the study of human origins intensified in the 20th century, two main theories emerged to explain the archaeological and fossil record: one, known as the multi-regional hypothesis, suggested that a species of human ancestor dispersed throughout the globe, and modern humans evolved from this predecessor in several different locations."
Scientists May Have Found The Earliest Evidence Of Life On Earth:
sciencemag.org/news/2015/10/scientists-may-have-found-earliest-evidence-life-earth
“When did life on Earth begin? Scientists have dug down through the geologic record, and the deeper they look, the more it seems that biology appeared early in our planet’s 4.5-billion-year history."
Oldest Evidence For Life On Earth Discovered Dates Back 4.1 Billion Years - 300 Million Years Earlier Than We Thought:
ibtimes.co.uk/oldest-evidence-life-earth-4-1-billion-years-ago-discovered-australia-1524733
“Evidence of life on Earth 4.1 billion years ago has been discovered in Western Australia, pushing back estimates of when living organisms first emerged back 300 million years. Scientists found a zircon sample in Jack Hills that had graphite inclusions consistent with a biogenic origin – possibly indicating the presence of life."
Controversy Over World’s Oldest Traces Of Life:
sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090216131450.htm
“The argument over whether an outcrop of rock in South West Greenland contains the earliest known traces of life on Earth has been reignited, in a study published in the Journal of the Geological Society."
How Did Evolution Begin?:
phys.org/news/2009-09-evolution.html
“Life's ability to replicate itself is essential for evolution, yet even the simplest kind of replication requires a relatively complex system."
New Research Rejects 80-Year Theory Of ‘Primordial Soup’ As The Origin Of Life:
sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100202101245.htm
“For 80 years it has been accepted that early life began in a 'primordial soup' of organic molecules before evolving out of the oceans millions of years later."
