Stories, Science, and Starting Points
The idea of the first person depends on who you ask. Christians and Jews believe in Adam and Eve as the first humans. Muslims also believe Adam was the first prophet. Hindus speak of Manu, the first man. Buddhists focus more on the cycle than on the first person. And in science, humans slowly evolved from ape-like ancestors over millions of years. So, the “first person” wasn’t one single person with a name, but someone very long ago who looked and acted a lot like us.
From Ancient Roots to Modern People
Scientists think modern humans, called Homo sapiens, first appeared in Africa around 300,000 years ago. These early humans were smart, walked upright, used tools, and lived in groups. Over time, they spread across the world and formed different cultures. We may never know exactly who the “first” person was, but they were part of a very big and amazing journey that led to all of us today.
