After that, followed by the appearance of ancient humans between 3-7 million years ago. Meanwhile, Prophet Adam himself is believed to have appeared on Earth tens of thousands of years ago. "That is more or less the sequence, and they did not meet each other, dinosaurs did not meet ancient humans," added Ali Akbar.

In the perspective of the Quran, it is explained that animals existed before humans (Adam), as part of the perfection of life on Earth. As stated in Surah Luqman Verse 10, Allah created the heavens without visible pillars, placing mountains on the surface of the earth as stakes to stabilize it.

"While in the context of dinosaurs, there is a hadith that refers to the height of Prophet Adam, where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: 'Allah created Adam with a height of 60 hasta.' (Hadith narrated by Bukhari) If we calculate one hasta to be equal to 45.72 cm, it means that the height of Prophet Adam is 27.4 meters."

"While the theory of evolution that suggests humans have ancestors who are apes is purely speculative and not based on strong evidence. Using the Quranic Archaeology approach, Ali Akbar argues that from a cultural and archaeological perspective, Prophet Adam does not fall under the category of ancient humans."

Ali Akbar explained that Homo sapiens is a species, with Homo sapiens as its subspecies, which is physically similar to Prophet Adam. Homo sapiens is a scientific term for modern humans. However, Prophet Adam cannot be classified as an ancient human. According to the interpretation of the Quran, in terms of anatomy, physiology, and morphology, Prophet Adam was already functioning perfectly.

he translation of the given text from Bahasa to English while preserving any HTML tags is as follows:

Alquran explains that Prophet Adam was created as the first caliph on Earth. He was called so because he, as a human, was given the task to build and develop the Earth. Prophet Adam was blessed with knowledge, which made him and his descendants humans who possess knowledge. This is different from ancient humans, who, according to scientific knowledge, did not have knowledge.

By using the definition from the Quran, the first human being is in accordance with Homo sapiens with all its characteristics. Meanwhile, the previous period is included in the category of creatures that are not considered human. "The Quran clearly states that Prophet Adam was created. Before Prophet Adam, there were creatures like Australopithecus to Pithecantropus erectus," he concluded.
