Ethnologists believe that Ethiopians are probably the people on Earth who have changed the least over the past few thousand years and probably most resemble the ancestors of Caucasians, Negroids (or Congoids), Asians, etc..
Technically there is no such thing as race- I'm not being politically correct when I say that race is incredibly superficial as a genetic difference (less than .0000000001% of DNA) as it's based only on facial appearances and, above all else, hair texture (NOT skin color). But I'm assuming your question is "what current humans would the earliest humans have looked most like" and the answer is "probably Ethiopians".
If you look at the girl in the photo below, you can see every "race" in her face- darken her skin and she looks African, lighten it and she looks European, add epicanthic folds to her eyes she could look Thai, etc..

The first man would have been the first of the genus, Homo Sapiens.
As he was the first, he wouldn't have had a race, as these would have developed as these people spread around the globe and developed independently into different races.
As Homo Sapiens developed in Africa, there is a good chance that he would have been dark-skinned in order to deal with the climate.
I'm not sure what "stats" you are expecting there to be.
Does it matter ?

I agree with the_lipsiot that the first man was of no race, simply because race is a relative concept.
If everyone in the world were green, say, and the same shade of green to boot, would the word "race" even enter our language?
The first man was the first man. Raceless. It was only later that climatic conditions in different regions split Homo Sapiens Sapiens into the "races" we hold so sacred today.

The scientific community is still trying to figure out exactly what would be considered the first man. Neanderthal? Cro-Magnon? Something a whole lot hairier?

Well from geological and historical records, man came from around the Ethiopia area of Africa, so I would imagine that it would make early man black.

Your question presumes a single first man. There is no reason that life could not have evolved in multiple places.

Since color coding human beings is racist, it was a human out-of-Africa!
