Who was the first human?

1 answer

The concept of the "first human" is a matter of scientific and philosophical debate. According to the theory of evolution, all modern humans are descendants of a common ancestor who lived in Africa around 200,000 years ago. This common ancestor is often referred to as "Mitochondrial Eve" or "Y-chromosomal Adam." So, while it is impossible to pinpoint a single "first human," we can say that modern humans evolved from a common ancestor.
