As we've obviously evolved, what was there first.?

Just been sitting here on a Saturday night doing nothing much (other half is working), and i thought of the physical relationship between animals and us humans.
I'm not at all interested in the religious views that we were created by god, so don't bother going there.
What i'm thinking is why do insects have loads of legs and we have two arms and two legs.
What seperated us from insects or any other type of life as we evolved.

From Wikipedia

Evolution has produced astonishing variety in insects. Pictured are some of the possible shapes of antennae.The relationships of insects to other animal groups remain unclear. Although more traditionally grouped with millipedes and centipedes, evidence has emerged favouring closer evolutionary ties with the crustaceans. In the Pancrustacea theory, insects, together with among others Malacostraca, make up a monophyletic group (sharing a common ancestor).

We're mammals that have evolved from tetrapods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod) which are like modern day mudskippers, over about 70 millions years

Basically insects come from crabs.
We came from fish like things, both from the sea - the deep has the answers...

so no one really knows ;)
