Are you asking where logic came from or where man's aptitude for reason/logic come from?

We know not nearly enough about how the human brain works due to the inherent challenges and ethical limitations of interaction/observation. Reason is not much more than advanced pattern recognition though. It is an iterative process of chance directed by logic.

Push a ball down a hill and it will roll in its initial direction. Obstruct its path and it will change course. Such obstructions can by viewed as logic checks of an algorithm directing information through a system of pattern recognition. Microprocessors function similarly although not nearly on the same scale.

Now if you want to know where logic or information itself originates or resides, well that I have no idea. It's just there. Why? I don't know that either. Could it have been created? Sure. Could it have always been there? Sure. Could it be purple? Sure. Can we ascertain any of the above? Nope.
