This happened due to the fusion of two chromosomes.

*And most importantly, primates have 48 chromosomes, while humans have "only" 46 chromosomes. Two entire chromosomes represent a heck of a lot of DNA removed from the human genome, yet somehow that removal made us "superior" in countless ways. It doesn't make sense.

EARTH IS OUR HOME PLANET. WE DID NOT COLONIZE IT, HUMANITY WAS BORN HERE.
and currently Earth is the only planet we inhabit. this is NOT colonization.
How do you know all of that? Prove to me that humanity was born here. Show me where humans came from, conclusively, with evidence.

You've never heard of the fossil record?
Why would you even involve yourself in a thread that is centric on science, when you seem to have skipped past one of the basics of the discipline?
Ok, answer me these questions and I'll believe that human life originated on Earth.
First, show me how life can spontaneously animate from organic material. If you can't show me how single celled organisms came to being, then it's kind of difficult for you to show me how humans evolved from them.
Second, explain to me how there is not a single example of one species evolving even partially into another distinct and separate species.
An experiment demonstrating allopatric speciation in the fruit fly (Drosophila pseudoobscura) conducted by Diane Dodd. A single population of flies was divided into two, with one of the populations fed with starch-based food and the other with maltose-based food. After the populations had diverged over many generations, the groups were again mixed; it was observed that the flies continued to prefer mating with others from the same original population.
Note: "eight or more generations pass" is not found in the original image but is cited in speciation from Dodd, D.M.B. (1989) "Reproductive isolation as a consequence of adaptive divergence in Drosophila pseudoobscura." Evolution 43:1308–1311.

Evolution.
Although it is possible that the seeds of life came from organic material delivered by a comet, we evolved on this planet. This is WELL documented.

Your answer contradicts itself.
I asked how life began on Earth, blah blah blah... you tell me evolution.
However, you then admit that maybe we were seeded by a comet!?!?! Way to contradict yourself there... well done.
Again, conclusively, how did life begin on Earth?
If we were seeded by a comet, then life colonised Earth, it did not begin here. Being colonised helps answer the Fermi paradox, in that 'we' are the colonising life forms in this part of the galaxy.

Since there is no amount of evidence that would convince you how life began on earth, there is no point in trying to explain it.
Where are the examples of transitional types of fossils?
That's what makes the starchild a little different.

Indeed I do have the answers.
as for the origin of life , the chemicals that made up ... [snip the joined dots] ... leading to us.
thats the simple version, filling in the all betweens would take more text then im allowed in my posts. heres a video on it:
