It is believed at the beginning there was only prokaryotic cells, bacteria cells which are not as advanced as mammalian cells, eukaryotic cells. When a bigger prokaryotic cell engulfed a smaller one, instead of being destroyed, smaller ones helped bigger prokaryote cell to be more advanced cell; for example, bigger one started having mitochondria which is the “power house” of the cell and this is how eukaryotic cells has been created. Human body is composed of about 70 trillion of eukaryotic cells which starts with a fertilization of a female’s egg and male’s sperm. From the replication of the single cell called meiosis, a human is being created. However, no one knows which cell or cell group will become what part of the fetus’s body.
