We have no idea who this first person was and I doubt we'll ever know. Although the ancestors of humans were living around 4.4 million years ago - Ardipithecus Ramidus, in what is now modern Africa it wasn't until around 400,000 that homo sapiens appeared again in Africa.
Archaeologists have found a number of very old human remains in china and Africa but we need a consider what we don't find too.
Archaeologists can only date from the remains that we find and need to acknowledge that many clues to our origins have been lost from the record for ever through thousands of years of evolution and geological impact.
Human development may have been simultaneous in different parts of the world and some of the landforms of the old geological eras have now disappeared possibly taking with them evidence for early humans.
The oldest skeletal remains for 'modern' humans homo sapiens sapiens were found in East Africa , in a place now called Omo and date to around 130,000 years ago. By 30,000 modern humans were populating Europe.
we have no idea as to the process of evolution in different areas ans whether or not it was similtaneous. for example homo erectus first appeared in Africa around 1-2 million years ago.
There's some evidence that the two tribes of the Andaman isles are direct decendants of the first 'humans' in Africa dating to around 1.5 million years ago.
Some DNA studies indicate that all humans on earth today are descendants of a single African ancestor who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago. We of course would have needed two ancestors as a single one couldn't have done the job herself!
As you can see there's no way we can pinpoint who the first human was. research and new evidence is emerging all the time and eventually we may know more about the first humans but I doubt we'll ever know who the very first one was.
