This the oldest they have discovered so far.
Palaeoanthropological excavations at Petralona from the anthopologist Aris Poulianos found a Skull of Archantropus in Greece that dates 700.000 BC. The skull has been dated to be at least 700,000 years old by two German scientists, anthropologist E. Breitinger and palaeontologist O. Sickenberg. Poulianos has claimed that this discovery renders the Indo-European theory obsolete. This was not an ape!

According to History, the first person on earth was Adam

Adam. Take a look at Genesis 1 and 2. Some people say the two chapters contradict eachother, but if you really pay attention to them both, you can connect both chapters together like a puzzle, and it explains creation in a historical way, not a scientific way. I hope that helps, good question.

yes, he was the first neandrathal. of course, he/she was most likely kind of an outcast, because he was more man than his fellow man. it must have been hard for him. He/she would have been much brighter, but that could even work against you against a mass of less intelligent brutes. The very first neandrathal may not even have been able to breed.
Anyway, listen to your second answer.
Or you can have faith and say it was some sort of Adam, which isn't logical and goes against scientific proof, but that doesn't mean anything at all, since our world is transcedental, as well as physical. Not all things are what they seem and not all things can be defined, much less proved. It only makes sense to put faith in some things. I say this, even though i find the notion of Adam and the Garden of Eden to be ridiculous, but also very destructive.

The bible thumpers would have us all believe that Adam was the first human on earth. Who really knows for sure?

The bible is NOT a scientific or historic tome. It is a series of stories strung together through cenuries of oral tradition. I have found great comfort in some of the contents of the bible but I do not turn to it for scientific/historic answers. If you want to know this answer, Google it.

Depends on your religious outlook.
But from a scientific point of view humans just didn't spring up over night. Over millions of years from one primate, the same one that chimps came, mutations occured that cause a new species to evolve and so on... Until the homo sapien came on the scene
