Bible
Creation
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Dominion
And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Marriage
Woman, who was taken out of Man, is fit to be man's helper. (Genesis 2:22-23)
a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. - Genesis 2:24
The Fall
The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” However, he ate of the forbidden fruit when his wife brought it to him.
Their eyes were opened, and they knew they were naked and tried to cover themselves with fig leaf loincloths.
When God was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, the man and woman hid among the trees. He called, "Where are you," and the man answered that he was afraid because he was naked. God asked who told him that, and he claimed the woman had given him the forbidden fruit. She blamed the serpent's deception, so ultimately, God cursed him to work the cursed ground in pain until he returns to the dust of the ground. However, He also cursed the serpent's offspring to ultimately be defeated by his wife's offspring.
The man called his wife Eve because she was the mother of all living, and God clothed them both in garments of skins. He sent the couple out of the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken and guarded the way back with the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way so that they could not eat of the tree of life and live forever.
(Genesis 3)
Corruption of the Earth
Man multiplied in the earth, and the sons of God took wives from among the daughters of man. The Lord said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.
The Lord saw man's wickedness, continually evil heart, and violence, and said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them."
He preserved man through Noah, a righteous man, blameless in his generation.
(Genesis 6)
Preservation During the Flood
7 days before the flood waters came, the Lord told Noah to go into the ark with his household.
"Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. For in seven days I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground."
During the flood, all flesh died apart from those who were with Noah in the ark.
The Lord resolves to never again strike down every living creature because of man and allows them again to multiply in the earth
After the earth dried out, the Lord said, "Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."
After leaving the ark, Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and every clean bird and offered burnt offerings. When the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
God told Noah, "I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
(Genesis 9)
All people dispersed from Noah's sons
The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed.
When Noah became drunk of his own vineyard, and his nakedness was seen by Ham but covered respectfully by Shem and Japheth, Noah delivered curses and blessings. He cursed Canaan, Ham's son, to be a servant of servants to his brothers. Noah blessed the Lord, the God of Shem, and set him over Canaan, while praying God enlarge Japheth and let him dwell in Shem's tents. (Genesis 9)
After the flood, sons are born to Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. From them arise peoples in their own lands, each with their own language, clans, and nations. (Genesis 10)
The nations are dispersed from Babel
The whole earth had one language. As people migrated from the east, they settled in a plain in the land of Shinar. They said, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly," using brick for stone and bitumen for mortar. They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.”
When the Lord came down to see the city and tower, He said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.” The Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Its name was called Babel.
The man pages
The man pages (short for manual pages) are a commonly used source of Linux documentation, providing in-depth documentation about programs, utilities, and other topics, including configuration files, programming APIs for system calls, library routines, and the kernel. They are on all Linux distributions.
Type man with a topic name as an argument to retrieve the information stored in the topic's man pages.
The man pages are divided into chapters numbered 1 through 9. In some cases, a letter is appended to the chapter number to identify a specific topic. For example, many pages describing part of the X Window API are in chapter 3X.
The chapter number can be used to force man to display the page from a particular chapter. It is common to have multiple pages across multiple chapters with the same name, especially for names of library functions or system calls.
man pages are often converted to other formats, such as PDF, web pages, published books, and websites.

man command
- man ~ Searches, formats, and displays the information contained in the man page system. Output is piped through less or other pager program
- man -a ~ display all pages with the given name in all chapters
- $ man -a socket ~ display all pages with socket in all chapters
- man -f ~ list all pages on the topic, instead of using the default order at /etc/man_db.conf to determine which to display. Same result as whatis
- man -k ~ List all pages that discuss a specified topic. Same result as apropos

History
The man pages infrastructure was first introduced in the early UNIX versions, at the beginning of the 1970s.
