虎是由古食肉類進化而來。在第三紀早期，古食肉類中的貓形類有數個分支：其中一支是古獵豹，貫穿各地質時期而進化為現今的獵豹；一支是犬齒高度特化的古劍齒虎類；一支是與古劍齒虎類相似的偽劍齒虎類；最後一支是古貓類。古劍齒虎類和偽劍齒虎類分別在第三紀早期和晚期絶滅，古貓類得以幸存。其中，類虎古貓就是現今的虎的祖先。後來，古貓類又分化為三支：真貓類、恐貓類和真劍齒虎類。其後二者均在第四紀冰河期滅絶，衹有真貓類幸存下來，並分化成貓族和豹族兩大類群而延續至今，現今的虎，就是豹族成員之一。
從生態學的角度看，虎種群數量多少與否可反映出生態係統是否平衡。虎本身也是生態係統中主要的一環。
單純的從虎來源，它的存在客觀上好像與人的關係不大，然而從生態學的角度來看，虎的存在，代表一個演化成熟的生態社會。這個生態社會是大自然歷經千百萬年藴育而成的精心傑作。
目前，人類所知的生物有一千多萬種，它們對自然界的影響是極大的，儘管我們還不完全清楚。
但虎的存在，表面那個地方還有完整的生態係統。而一個完善的生態係統對於人類是十分主要的。因為在不可預知的未來，因為人口的驟增，人類將面臨糧食的危機，完整的生態係統可能是解决這一危機的新契機。所以保護老虎也是保護人類自身！
現代的虎、獅、豹在外形上很容易區別，虎身上布滿條紋，豹身上布滿斑紋，獅子身上則條紋和斑紋均無，雄獅頭上有鬃毛。但是如果衹有個體骨骼，則很難區別。因此，要弄清楚虎的起源，就必須依靠顱骨化石，尤其是牙齒化石。邱占祥（1998年）認為，在我國已經發現的化石中，時代最早的虎化石可能是古中華虎（panthera tigris palaeosinensis），這個種是1924年瑞典古生物學家zdansky所建，標本是一個保存比較完好的屬於同一個體的頭骨、下牙床和一個寰椎（即第一頸椎），化石是當時在我國政府任礦業顧問的瑞典地質學家anderson於1920年在河南澠池蘭溝第三十八地點發現的，這個地點的確切地質年代至今尚不清楚。但是據有關專傢推斷，其時代至少在距今200萬年以上，這是因為，第一，含化石的岩性是紅土，zdansky記述，和我國華北各地典型的含晚中新世三趾馬動物群的紅土很接近，而不像時代比較晚的第四紀的比較鬆散的黃色或緑色的砂岩或黃土，這表明它的時代可能介於上述兩者之間；第二，在同一地點還發現過中華長鼻三趾馬化石，這種化石主要發現於我國距今大約300萬年至200萬年的地層中，在極個別的情況下可能殘存至距今100萬年左右。關於這個種是否應該歸入虎，科學界還有不同的看法。1967年德國科學家hemmer著文詳細討論了這個種的性質。在很仔細地討論了每一塊骨頭的形態特徵並作了詳細的測量和對比之後，得出的結論是，它的絶大部分特徵都和虎更為接近，衹是個體比虎小，而稍大於豹，因此應為虎的一個亞種(panthera tigris palaeosinensis)。這一結論比較可信，因而可能是虎的祖先。
真正的虎的材料首次出現於陝西藍田公王嶺。化石發現得不多，衹有一段上頜和一件不完整的下頜。這兩件標本已經和現在的虎很難區別了，在大小上比現在的虎稍微大一點。公王嶺地點的地質年代開始時認為可能衹比周口店稍稍早一點，為中更新世初期，亦即距今大約60萬年。從20世紀70年代開始，隨着古地磁地層學的發展，人們逐漸認識到，公王嶺含化石層位落在古地磁年表中鬆山反嚮期內的賈拉米洛正嚮事件之下，其地質年代大約應該是距今110萬年左右。因此，我們可以說，至少距今100多萬年前虎就和人類的祖先--藍田人在一起生活。到中更新世時，也就是從距今60萬年左右開始，虎的化石較多，至少在我國的東半部普遍可以發現。發現化石最多的，在華北是在著名的周口店北京人産地；而在華南則是在四川萬縣????井溝裂隙堆積中，在????井溝發現的虎化石，據統計至少有46個個體。
綜合來說，關於虎的歷史起源，目前比較公認的觀點是：200萬年前虎起源於東亞（即現今華南虎的分佈區），然後沿着兩個主要方向擴散，即虎沿西北方向的森林和河流係統進入亞洲西南部；沿南和西南方向進入東南亞及印度次大陸，一部分最終進入印度尼西亞群島，在嚮亞洲其它地域擴散和輻射適應的過程中，虎演化為8個亞種，即華南虎、西伯利亞虎(p. t. altaica)、孟加拉虎(p. t. tigris)、印支虎(p. t. corbetti)、蘇門答臘虎(p. t. sumatrae)、巴釐虎(p. t. balica)、爪哇虎(p.t.sondaica)和裏海虎(p.t.virgata)。由此可見，虎曾經廣泛分佈在西起土耳其，東至中國和俄羅斯海岸，北起西伯利亞，南至印度尼西亞群島的遼闊土地上。至20世紀中葉，裏海虎、爪哇虎、巴釐虎已經滅絶。中國曾經分佈有華南虎、東北虎（西伯利亞虎）、孟加拉虎、印支虎和裏海虎（新疆虎）(已滅絶）等5個亞種。
