who was the first human on earth?

Answer 1

Grog of the Cave Bear Clan was dubbed "first human on earth" by the ape-like elders of the tribe for his ability to walk upright...in the Year 68,575 BC.....

Answer 2

It is impossible for us to tell for sure who the first "human" on Earth was. Because there seem to have gone many BILLIONS of years since such anthropomorphic beings as us appeared and walked for the first time on the mull of this Earth.

Generally the word "human" is etymologically connected with such a word as "humus", that is the "mull", "mulch" or "mold" of the Earth.

Anyway, according to the Bible the first human of semitic creation on this Earth was Adam, the "earthling", after "adama", earth. If we can accept this humbly and uncritically, we can be happy even for the rest of our life.

Generally, etymological dictionaries show this:

Human,
from "humus", earth, decaying earthly material. Also possibly from old-indian Manu, the primeval father (God) of all men.

Man,
f.ex. Hindi, admi; Turkish, adam, man.

Adam,
from the biblical creation, earthling, from "adama", earth.

Answer 4

Honestly, this is not a good question. It is impossible to say, "This __ was the first human on earth."
The first humans on earth were Homo Habilis who lived approximately 2.5 million years ago in Ethiopia and environs.

Answer 5

The first human on earth was actually more like an ape than a man.

Answer 6

All humans are descendants of "Genetic Eve". All men are descendants of "Genetic Adam". However, Genetic Eve and Genetic Adam did not necessarily live at the same time or place. Every human gets their mitochondrial DNA from their mother and every man gets his fathers y-chromosome. You should see the National Geographic genetic project.

Answer 9

The most widely accepted view among current anthropologists is that Homo sapiens originated in the African savanna around 200,000 BP (Before Present), descending from Homo erectus, had colonized Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 BP, and finally colonized the Americas approximately 10,000 years ago. They displaced Homo neanderthalensis and other species descended from Homo erectus (which had colonized Eurasia as early as 2 million years ago) through more successful reproduction and competition for resources.

Answer 10

Well, if you look at it Biblically, Adam was the first man on Earth.
