Before the creation of everything, there was nothing. No stars, no space, no light, no darkness. Someone put something into nothing and everything was created. Therefore, I must believe that the Male was created first in every circumstance and in every species.

Well, when you discount the Creation myth in the Bible--which as I've said before is not history, but allegory--I remember reading once that genealogically, humanity can (theoretically, anyway) be traced back to a single woman living in Africa.
I'm not saying I believe it, but...
Seriously, I'd go with the androgynous human--or probably humans--who self-propagated and gave birth to mutated males and females. Makes more sense than the single African woman, who would still have to find someone to mate with.

The first creature to be born having naturally mutated into a homo sapien is equally likely to be male or female. That person would have procreated, producing more people. Others would have evolved similarly, and eventually the superior / dominant genes would gradually win out.

W E L L... according to the Bible.. man (Adam) came first...
On the other hand... below is a Joke (is it a joke or not?) of Eve alone in the garden talking to the Lord:
Lord, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"I know that You created me and provided this beautiful garden and all
of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy." "And why is that Eve?" "Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"Man? What is that Lord?"
"A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's
the catch Lord?"
"Well.....you can have him on one condition."
"And what's that Lord?"
Well, you have to let him believe that I made him first. And it will have to be our little secret......
You know, woman to woman."

tricky question.
The Bible says that on the sixth day (Genesis 1:26-31) he created male and female in his image. Implying at the same time.....
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
but you go to Genesis 2:18,
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found.
21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh.
22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."
shows that she was made later.....after all the other things had been made and named...... interesting huh?
course if you go the scientific path, we were here at the same time being first single celled organisms, maturing and evolving into other creatures, taking on genders in order to reproduce and continue the life of the species......
depends on your point of view.

Male, of course. The female was still doing her hair and getting ready while the Male waited

Before I answer this question. I will ask you your own question. If you believe in the Bible as basis for history, it is male. If you believe in evolution, it is both. You have the power to decide because it is hard to find the past. these which I presented to you is only the options of what is true.
I hope I had anwered your question. God bless.

Little organisms that were floating around in space after the big bang came into earth first.
