Who was the first person on earth?

Human life is a quite complex issue.

Despite the advancement in technology, humans are unable to comprehend their existence, neither are they able to accurately tell who the first person on earth was.

But in order to do so, most people tend to rely on religious texts; mostly The Bible and Qu’ran for information on who the first person on earth was.

According to both religious texts, the first person on earth was a man named Adam.

Beyond its use as the name of the first man, Adam is also used in the Bible as a pronoun, individually as “a human” and in a collective sense as “mankind”.

In The Bible, according to Genesis 2, God forms “Adam”, meaning a single male human, out of “the dust of the ground”, and places him in the Garden of Eden, and also forms a woman via his rib as his helpmate

In the entire Hebrew Bible, Adam appears only in chapters 1–5 of the Book of Genesis, with the exception of a mention at the beginning of the Books of Chronicles where, as in Genesis, he heads the list of Israel’s ancestors.

However, science and religion seem not to be in tandem with one another, and even with regard to creation, evidence available indicates that the oldest skeleton discovered of our species Homo sapiens (so far) is from Morocco and is about 300,000 years old.

However, the identity of the said skeleton is another issue altogether.

The complexity of it means that most people rather stick with the creation story and to that effect, Adam was/is the first person on earth.
