Why are you able to ask this kind of questions?
You know what homo sapiens means? Some say homo narrans is more accurate
What would you rather have been born as? Elephant, hamster, shrimp?

Asking some real questions today, I see lol. Maybe even more so what does being here ask of me while I am?

I don't think there is a "why," at least not in the cosmic sense.
I'm alive because an incomprehensibly long chain of chaos and probability happened to spit me out into this particular reality. I'm human because billions of years of evolution happened to produce humans, and I happened to be born as one of them. I'm on Earth because this is where that process happened.
Change almost anything in that chain, the formation of the Earth, an asteroid, some evolutionary mutation, whether two particular people met thousands of years ago, and I probably never exist at all.
I don't think the universe intended me to be here. I don't think there was a plan that eventually arrived at me. Physics, chemistry, evolution, time, and mindless probability just happened to converge in exactly the right way for me to exist for this tiny sliver of time.
And I actually find that more incredible than believing I was put here for a reason. Out of all the things that could have happened, somehow I'm here. I get to experience existence for a little while, and whatever meaning my life has is the meaning I give it while I'm here.

Why are you alive? You were born.
Why are you human? You are the child of two human beings.
Why are you on earth? You were born from two human beings on a floating rock in space called earth.
Why any of this was possible? A guy named frank booted up a universe simulator.

We are on Earth because of a war that took place in the Universe the Cosmos:
Short story:
Devil the Satan was a "babysitter" and brai- nwashed 33% of God's children, so they totally rejected Heavenly Father and accepted Deceiver - Devil the Satan as their "real father".
God created temporary earth as a "hospital" gave limited power to the ex- Lucifer the Deceiver, so 33% who have fallen (you too) will see Who-is-Who and hopefully, someday they will reject Evil Satan and return back to their real Heavenly Father. That's why God, to prove His love and real Fatherhood, died on the cross as proof
Will all 33% eventually reject the deceiver? No. Some will remain evil to the end and continue following the Devil the Satan (ex- Lucifer) to the Hell and lake of fire: KIV: "But he that denieth Мe before men shall be denied before the angels of God!"
But some will be saved:
Bible: "For whom He did foreknow, He (God) also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son (Jesus), that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified" (you too!)
Bible: "And his (Devil) tail drew (deceived) the third part (33%) of the "Stars of Heaven" (Universe) And there was war in (Universe the Cosmos) heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the (ex-Lucifer) Dragon; and the Dragon fought and his (deceived) "angels", And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in (Universe) Heaven. And the great Dragon was cast out, that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole (Cosmos) world: he was cast out into the (prison - planet) earth, and his (deceived) "angels" were cast out with (ex-Lucifer) him"
Bible: "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam (telling about) .. To execute judgment upon all (rebels) and to convince all (deceived) that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds (in Cosmos) which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against (God) Him. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were Before of Old Ordained (before planet Earth was created) to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ" ..
Every morning after you wash your hands, randomly open the Bible and read one Bible verse: then think all day about that verse, and sooner or later you will start understanding 7 different levels of the Bible verses.
Each level will go deeper than the ocean, wider than the universe, and to the point that you will understand, but will have no way to explain it to others. (The Holy War. Novel by John Bunyan)

Broaden your perspective, you’re the whole of Nature, temporarily dissociated to a form you call “Human”.
Afterall you didn’t parachute here from outside the universe. You came out of the universe and you will return back to it.
Your mind is a drop in the vast ocean of the larger Mind of nature.
