The first human was only human and the concept of male or female can later. The words human, male, and female were just made to define our world so that we can understand it. The physical differences just formed off of those beliefs. For instance, females can get as strong as men, but they don't because that is not what a women does according to society. Men can be weak and fragile, but that is not manly according to society. We made men and women, ultimately creating the gender gap we have today. Our sexual physical forms evolved the we the did because over time we made some people passive housekeepers(females) and other aggressive hunters (males). The physical world was first a mental world with cookie cutter of a human being. We did the rest. We were first just beings and will end beings.

With the caveat that I do not know exactly how you are defining "human," and based on current research into paleoanthropology, I would say that there was was not "a" first human. What are considered "modern" humans developed from earlier hominid forms several hundred thousand to several million years ago (the date seems to keep getting pushed back).
For those of you who referenced the Bible and said Adam was the first human, go back and reread Genesis. You will find that in Genesis 1 humans are created (male and female created He them) at the same time. It is in the second "version" of Creation that Adam is created first, and then Eve from one of his ribs. And don't give me any of that stuff about the first one being a "preview," which is simply silly. Several times in the first five books of the Old Testament one finds these "couplets," as they are called, two slightly different versions of the same story.

humans developed. the first human looked more like a monkey than like what we know a man looks like. we will never know what it was, but it had to mate and whether it mated with a similarly evolved individual or with a not so evolved one, we will never know.
who cares, anyway?

if you believe in the bible, then It was adam first, then "god" took one of adams ribs to make eve, because eve was not made from the soil like everything else was. If you don't believe in god, then it was the chicken that came first, then the egg.

The bible says Adam came first. It would seem to me with evolution we needed one of each concurrently.

They came together, from that distant reptilian past....and even further, from that primordial soup of creation.
