We don't know and it doesn't matter.

All you need to know is how to destroy them.

There are two theories- the virus, usually known as soluman, which is transferred through fluid exchange, and then there is the mystical, hell-is-full type.

The disease zombies are perhaps the easier to contain. Keep out of grabbing distance, and keep in a defendable area.

If there is a supernatural aspect to the zombification, the simple act of dying may be enough for one and all to become zombifiied. (This is bad, because it makes outbreak control difficult.)

Well, The Virus one, Noone is sure how the Original first Virus came about but it has Mutated and now there are a Few Viruses. (The Americans Also experimented and made more Viruses/)

There is a Parasite version as well which is just the nature of evolution. A little creature plants itself at the Top of the Spine or the Bottom of the Brain stem and then takes control.

How they came obout originally I dont know but what ever I just like "Killing???" Them..

Necromancy!

Or an evil medical company fook up.

Depending on whether you're holding a sword or a gun.

A zombie is a reanimated corpse. Stories of zombies originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodou, which told of the dead being raised as workers by a powerful sorcerer. Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction, largely because of the success of George A. Romero's 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead.
There are several possible etymologies of the word zombie. One possible origin is jumbie, the West Indian term for "ghost".[1] Another is nzambi, the Kongo word meaning "spirit of a dead person."[1] According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the etymology is from the Louisiana Creole or Haitian Creole zonbi, of Bantu origin.[2] A zonbi is a person who is believed to have died and been brought back to life without speech or free will.[3] It is akin to the Kimbundu nzúmbe ghost. These words are approximately from 1871.[2]"


Basically vodoo religion...

Yeah, but that doesn't explain the real zombies.

As far as I know in Romero's terms the zombies came out of the grave due to radiation from a satellite that crashed. You can here a report on the radio at the start of Night Of The Living Dead I think.

Doesn't matter how they come about, when they do sharpen your melee weapon and lock n' load motherfùckers!!

Voodoo zombies are easy peasey. Using the right medication (or even incantations) they can be 'cured'. Heck, they can't even infect you.
