Is it possible that some of the oil/petroleum we use today comes from human material?

';Most geologists believe that petroleum was derived from plant and animal material deposited in enormous quantities in sedimentary beds millions of years ago.'; That's from the Encyclopedia Americana.... but if humans or at least ';animals'; (or even apes) similar to humans existed millions of years ago, could their remains be part of the petroleum/crude oil we use today? Answers from geologists, environmentalists or any other professional in the field are highly appreciated as well as rational theories.Is it possible that some of the oil/petroleum we use today comes from human material?
No, not humans, It takes not just millions but hundreds of millions of years for organic material to turn to oil. But in the sense that early mammals living at the time of the dinosaurs are our ';ancestors';, you could be right.Is it possible that some of the oil/petroleum we use today comes from human material?
No. Almost all of our petroleum reserves are from the Mesozoic (or the ';age of the dinosaurs';). About 5% of the petroleum reserves we use today were formed in the Cenozoic (since the dinosaurs died out), but the newest ones I've heard of were formed in the Eocene, so about 33 million years ago at the latest (I might be wrong about that part though).





Anyways, technically some petroleum is derived from human ancestors, but they'd be ancestors that existed LONG before the great apes.
