What race was the first man?

Question

Some people say black ,some say white ,and some people just make up stuff.

Answer 1

I will tell you that Blacks were here first. Why? It is genetically IMPOSSIBLE for 2 white skinned people to produce any other color tone besides white. That skin tone is a recessive tone. Every hue can be produced from the black tone. That's why you see so many shades of blacks in areas with little or no exposure to other races.

Answer 2

Well, firstly there probably was no first man. Homo Sapiens would have started out as a small population of another species of Homo that was isolated and diverged genetically until it was no longer interfertile with the original species.

The speciation of Homo Sapiens seems to have occured in Africa. Africa has generally had a warm climate, even in the ice ages, so the first humans would probably have been dark skinned. Light skin was an adaptation developed when they migrated into the colder regions of Europe and Asia.

Incidentally whiteness being a recessive trait is a myth; the offspring of a lighter skinned and darker skinned person will usually have a skin color intermediate between their two parents so it is codominant. The belief that is recessive probably stems from the fact that our culture generally considers intermediate people like mulattos as black.

Answer 3

The first man was no race. I believe Adam in the Bible may not have been the first man, but I think he was the first Jewish man, and this was the source of the Torah and the Christian Bible. I believe this because the Bible talks about the land of Nod...so this infers to me that there were other people before Adam. Whether the first race may have been the fallen angels when the devil was cast down from heaven The Bible doesn't say, it is just concerned with the family line of Adam.

Answer 4

Man did not pop out of no where, it has been an evolutionary process. We were something before man so it does not really matter. They say a man has more hair follicles than a dog except they are translucent and mostly dormant. So that means we were once totally covered with hair. So how could we have all been black if we were all covered with hair? Black is a genetic mutation caused by sunlight. Look at a dog and he is white underneathe.

Answer 5

The very first man must not have originated from any race. The color of the skin in every man must have something to do with do with adaptation to the place they were born and survived according to the climatic condition of the the place. The first group must have the similar skins and forms until they were scattered all over through migrations. Just as you can observed from the same species of animals who differs on their appearances in different places. One examples are wolves in cold climate and the wolves in other dry places.
Men must have appeared to look like monkeys when they were living inside forested areas where they have adopted to tree climbing lifestyle and other men have developed a straight spine and erect posture when they have adopted to living in flat lands. All of the differences you see now are based purely on adaptations and survivals.

Answer 6

Middle Eastern

Answer 7

Why? Will it make you feel better about yourself if someone says it's whatever race you are? Who cares what others think. As long as you know you're a good person, you can't ever make EVERYONE happy

Answer 8

I'd say African, possibly black; humans of this planet all have DNA that can be traced back to one female ancestor in Africa

Answer 9

I can't say. I'd just call him human. Races and languages were introduced at the fall of the tower of Babel.

Answer 10

They were and are shades of brown. The Discovery Channel did a special, in which a DNA scientist followed it back to an existing tribe in Africa.
