Always start with Dial a day.

Genesis1 v24 to 26 and v31. And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kind: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning - the sixth day.

There is no doubt at all that although there is evidence of primitive mammals at an earlier date in the fossil record the great explosion in numbers of mammals occurred suddenly and late. There is also no dispute about the fact that man arrived last of all. I think it is significant that there is no separate day allocated to the creation of man. He arrived at the tale end of the age of mammals to whom he is closely related. There is no point denying a close relationship when we share 90% of our DNA with the ape. However it is also obvious that there is a huge difference between man and the cleverest ape in terms of consciousness. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image".
