    If we evolved from ancients then where did the ancients evolve from?

    As Dr. Rodney Mckay said in the first episode of Atlantis we have evolved from the ancients with some of us having there gene. This can be true but from where did the Ancients evolve from? Is Evolution a factor that has affected them or was there someone before them?

    What do you guys think?

    Can't be sure but likely from lower life forms, they were probably the first evolution of humans.

              we didn't evolve from the ancients we're the second evo of them. laymen's terms we are the "primitive" version of the ancients

                We didn't evolve from the ancients...the ancients used the dakara energy wave device to recreate life after the plague. Humans are one result of that. However, when the remainder of the Ancients returned from Atlantis 10,000 years ago, they did integrate themselves into some of the cultures of the time and breed with them, thus passing down the ATA gene.

                  that's the second evolution (or third if the ori did indeed seed their galaxy first)

                  and yes some of us have that ata gene thanks to the alterrans shagging normal humans (since they did create us we're like their sons and daughters eww lol).

                    I really wish the writers would let us in on the details of the ancients "recreating life in our galaxy" plot. There is no way that they could have pushed a button and had a total re-evolution of life in the galaxy in a matter of a few million years; it's quite impossible.

                    If we're the second evolution of their kind, then we should naturally evolve the ATA gene sooner or later, as long as they evolved that gene naturally.

                          They were created by the Ori.

                            The Ancients naturally evolved on their own homeworld with no outside interference. The Ancients, at some point had a cultural split that divided their people into two factions; The Alterrans, and the Ori. The Alterrans, for some reason decided to leave their home behind (were they defeated in battle? or did they simply wish to avoid further conflict?... don't know.), and traveled between galaxies for thousands of years before coming to the Milky Way galaxy. Earth, was the first planet they settled upon arrival in their new home, and they named it Avalon. From there, they began expanding throughout the galaxy and began building a new Network of Stargates (Astria-Portas) to connect their worlds of interest, which eventually spanned the entire galaxy. They eventually formed an Alliance with other highly advanced and peaceful races they encountered, (which is referred to as the Ancient Alliance) which consisted of the Nox, the Asgard, the Furlings, and the Alterrans (also believed to be the most advanced of the four. At the time the Asgard were far less advanced than they currently are, using sleeper ships in interstellar travel.).

                            At some point, the Alterrans decided to travel to the Pegasus Galaxy taking with them the flying city of Atlantis, constructed on Earth, and perhaps named after the currently named continent of Antartica. They may have decided to leave because of 'The Plague' (likely caused by the Ori), or perhaps they had intended to anyhow. In either case, it is clear the Atlanteans were quite aware of the Plague in the Milky Way. The Alterrans knew their end was coming, so several plans of action were put into place to combat their demise. At least one group tried to travel back in time to prevent the plague, but were unable to perfect the time travel device ending their mission in failure. (It was not until the Ancient Atlantean named Janus created his Time-Machine that time travel technology became possible, but by then time travel had been banned by the Ancients.) Some of the Ancients decided to pursue the path of Enlightenment, and learned to evolve further into the Ascended Ancients we know now. Another plan of action was to create a device on the planet now known as Dakara, that would guide evolution on planets all over the galaxy to be relatively 'human-friendly'. This was likely done by encoding certain genetic information that would allow life to eventually re-evolve into human beings, thus making a new generation of independently (sort of...) evolved humans. It might be asked... why then, was Earth the only planet to evolve humans? There are a number of possibilites.

                            Maybe Earth wasn't. We know the Atlanteans seeded human life in the Pegasus galaxy (likely very simultaneously with our own evolution.) We also know that the Ori, at some point did the same thing in their home galaxy. Although the Ori did it for much more malevolent reasons. The Alterrans did it as a sort of legacy. They themselves were dying off, but to ensure a new generation of their kind, they enacted a re-evolution of human life, and placed several Ancient Archives around the galaxy so that when humans were sufficiently evolved they might find them and acquire the knowledge of their own history. This is why the Archives were called, "The Place of our Legacy". We know that the vast majority of humans in our galaxy came from Earth, including the Jaffa. However, we have encountered very nearly human peoples that were not. The Incarans were very nearly human, but they evolved on another world besides Earth. The Aschen may or may not have been originally from Earth. The Bounty hunter Aris Boch comes from a very nearly human species that is incompatible with the Goa'uld.

                            On the other hand, there might have been a seperate device that worked in conjuncution on specific planets with the Dakara device that not only made worlds 'human-friendly' but also helped to specifically direct species evolution into human beings. Perhaps these devices resulted in human (or near human) evolution on very specific planets; Earth, Incara, Aschen?, and Aris Boch's homeworld. All of this is a stretch of course... but that is why it is science fiction.

                            The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed! Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way.

                              I think the point of them not giving us insight is to maybe allow imagination to take place and plus if they give to much information sooner or later they will make a contradicting mistake that is very noticeable.
