A little over six thousand years ago according to Bishop Usher.
James Ussher (sometimes spelled Usher) (4 January 1581–21 March 1656) was Anglican Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland between 1625–1656 and a prolific religious scholar who most famously published a chronology which calculated the date of Creation as October 22, 4004 BC.
However, according to geneticists, our genetic Adam lived about sixty thousand years ago, while our genetic Eve lived about one hundred fifty thousand years ago.

The creation story is symbolic, even though all of its lessons are true. It is very unlikely that there ever was a real Adam or Eve.

Funny you should ask. Adam would've been 5,878 years old last Friday. How time flies.

As an allegory for the fallibility of humankind, they have lived wherever there are people, and they still live today, and they will live for the foreseeable future.

That is uncertain|
It could have been thousands of years ago, tens of thousands of years ago, or hundreds of thousands of years ago|

That is like asking when did Hansel and Gretel live. It is pretty tough pin pointing the life span of fictional characters.

Never. It's just religious mythology.
