Because Muslims believe by virtue of their faith that all humen are children of Adam and he was created directly by God Himself and then Adam decended from heavens to Earth with a powerful objective i.e to know Thy God which is the mission of every human being.

How did humans come to exist in Islam?

Adam (Arabic: آدم, Adem) is a prominent figure in Islamic history, as he is believed by Muslims to be the first human and the first Islamic prophet. He was also the husband of Eve, the first woman. His story is told in the Qur'an, though his Qur'anic narrative differs from the Torah story in some aspects. Tabari records that when it came time to create Adam, God sent Gabriel (Jibril), then Michael (Mika'il), to fetch clay from the earth; but the earth complained, saying I take refuge in God from you, if you have come to diminish or deform me, so the angels returned empty-handed. Tabari goes on to state that God responded by sending the Angel of Death, who took clay from all regions, hence providing an explanation for the variety of appearances of the different races of mankind. According to Tabari's account, after receiving the breath of God, Adam remained a dry body for 40 days. Then gradually came to life from the head downwards. He came back to life saying "All praise be to God, the Lord of all beings." Having been created, Adam, the first man, is described as having been given domination over all the lower creatures, which he proceeds to name. As one of the people, to whom God have spoken directly. Adam is seen as a prophet in Islam.
