Many people would like to argue that Adam was the first Man on Earth, but that is arguable, even among those in the Judeo-Christian belief systems.
Part of this argument is scientific. Anthropologists, for instance, might tell you that human beings began to evolve from apes around 4 million years ago, with the first homo sapiens neanderthalis said to have evolved from homo erectus around 500,000 years ago. Of course, these are estimates that changes periodically. On the other hand, geneticists might also argue that the "genetic Adamβ lived either sixty thousand years ago or as far back as 150,000 years ago, which is the era they have traced to the "genetic Eve.β
Catholics, on the other hand, might argue that Adam lived approximately 6,000 years ago. At least, thatβs what the religious scholar Bishop James Ussher discussed when he published a calculated date of Creation to be October 22, 4004 BC. At the same time, other spirituality experts might suggest that Adam and Eve lived several thousand years before that.
One problem posed by the Judeo-Christian argument about Adam being the first human, though, is that other creatures are described in the Book of Genesis. In the Bible, discusses that God made Man on the 6th day and placed him in the Garden. Some experts argue that this means there were other humans outside the Garden; which is something that is actually discussed in the Bible, particularly in regards to Cainβs banishment. During this passage (which is only the fourth chapter of Genesis) the speaker talks about how "any finding him should kill him,β which suggests that there were other humans besides the "first family.β
According to the Bible, Adam was the first man on Earth and he is known as the father of humanity. Studies show that it is possible that Adam lived about 14,000 to 15,000 years ago, but no one knows for sure. In the book of Genesis, God speaks of creating Adam on the 6th day. He was created in God's image and had control over all of the plants and animals in the world. God gives Adam a female partner named Eve. The two do ok together until the eat fruit from the forbidden tree. God gets angry that they have disobeyed him and ate from this forbidden tree, so he expels them from the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve had three sons named Cain, Able, and Seth. Therefore, it is not really known who exactly was the first man on Earth, but according to the Bible, it was Adam.
This question about the first man is going in loop since ages.
I believe in science as well as religion. Religion being faith and and science being explanations. Religion helps us to guide our way to the supreme power. Confusing eh? :)
Well, now coming to the answer. It is said that man and ape had the same ancestor millions of years ago(not thousands). Some gene mutations happened on this/these ancestor(s) to develop different prototypes of which one being man. If you see the DNA structure of humans and chimpanzees there is difference in only one pair.

I am not an atheist. But, I respect science.
Look at scripture 1 Corinthians 15:45. Adam was the first human being. Just know that somethings will not be in the bible. If it was not listed then it wasnt important . Don't question his word but walk but faith and trust in God. Its either you believe in his word or you don't. God said he did it so he did it. Its said he created Adam first so thats what it was and is still today. The devil is a deciever so don't become one of his victims. Love all and God bless.
My faith says it's Adam. On the 6th day he was made. 6 days of creation in the bible does not literally means 6 days. We do not say it's false but science & faith can go together. Yes God can create all things even in one click but he let it be done the natural way as in from single organism to a complex living things. 6 days may be thousand years in reality though I personally believe that God can make everything even in a single second. If you can see the sequence of divine creation it is same as in evolution of all living creatures. 6 days was written just to establish our faith in God.
Hinduism is generally regarded as the world's oldest organized religion and does not have a single founder, a specific theological system, a single system of morality, or a central religious organization which evolved in India since 1500 BCE. Therefore, whatever is written in "Bhagavad-Gita As It Is" is absolute truth. Science can not prove this who really was the first human on earth because science has its limitation as human has limitation with all the scenes. No matter whatever is your religion, you have to believe in it and learn from it.
Here Krishna...
Adam was the first man and eve the first lady. They had kids ... Daughters and sons... Adam and eve were mad out of universe... When their kids grew up, they wished for marriage. God made their spouses from the universe the way he had made adam and eve
Adam was the first person to live on earth, he was made by god, but how did god make this creation of a person? Even though he wasn't living I think he made Adam with his powers. Lots of people don't know but if you believe anything can happen. Like god having powers.
According to al religious holy books except hindu (its possible hindu books name ADAM as Manu) religion ADAM (peace be upon him) was the first man on earth. But not the first man in the universes. The first man in all the universes was Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) in form of a star.
Proof: Prophet Mohammad asked Gabriel "how old are you" he replied I was born when no one except a bright star and God was here. And I came to know that this star was born billions of years before my creation. Now this star is gone some where. Mohammad (pbuh) replied that star was him ( later transformed into human as Mohammad (pbuh).
Adam as in holy quran mentioned and also in every book revealed from sky< by prophets not written by own as guru govind granth > huge follower of 1 god that is christanity,islam,jews, which is reality if there r many gods den they would between them & no one would survived
Like Amitchopra said, you need a woman to repopulate with and if you can not do so then their is no begining or no end. These books were written by people with less intelect that us who went through evolution. And if so us men could of changed what the origanl wirtters intented to say.
Okay. Primary of all, Adam and Eve weren't, they lived approximately
6,000 BC, as soon as the Ice Age finished. The Bible gives the coordinates of Eden, which is regarding wherever four rivers smash together. That would the Tigris, Euphrates, and two additional rivers that were until that time unfamiliar. After judgment these two withered rivers, we be acquainted with wherever they all get together. Then that river goes down where the Persian Gulf is at this time and empties a small farther than south. So we know how to securely speak that Eden was wherever the Persian Gulf is nowadays.
The river with the aim of flooded to be here busy as a result of the end of the Ice Age, which melted all of the ice. This is once they were "kicked" out of Eden by God. They weren't kicked out, they runaway or as well they would go down. Anyhow, 6,000 BC was as soon as humans stopped up hunter-gathering and established downward in one situate to farm.
That's what Genesis represents, the revolution of hunter-gatherers into farmers. Adam and Eve weren't genuine. By the way, I am a firm supporter of the massive but a little belonging in the bible are totally artificial. The primary human being might contain a monkey.
To the people that think they know the bible your wrong. To the people that don't know the bible your also wrong. The bible isn't a timeline or a book to justify history. Its a book of how GOD (our creator) wants us to live our lives. Nothing in the bible is said to hurt us but to warn us. We as sinful people have a choice in life. We are not forced to do anything. We were created in his image. Here is something to think about. If we evolved from something we should be able to mate with it and have a sterile human being just like any other species on this earth. Never happened and never will. Ex. Horses, donkeys, mules. Look at how complex the world is around you and ask yourself, how can this just happen? There is a creator, if you don't believe in GOD then believe in Jesus because through him you'll find the truth to all your questions anyway.
Those people who say they'll die nd cum bk...shame I don't think it will hapen, coz it would hd happend...according to the bible is adam and we don't hv prove of that..bt I'm still saying god jst create every race wit a men and woman..nd thats how world existed today
There have been many answers to your questions and the ans. are different in different religions. I would prefer to tell you the answer according to hinduism.
In the Bhagwad Gita it is mentioned that MANU was the first man on earth. MANU had come from the creation of Brahama, Vishnu and Mahesh That is from the three important gods of hindu mythology. MANU then brought the humans into existence on earth and slowly the animals also came into existence. It is beleived that MANU is the great ancestor for all human beings.
Actually the problem is that from the Hazrat Adam till now more than one twenty four hundred thousands times peoples of the world destroyed by many incidents and ancient literature and scriptures were also destroyed.
There is no way to know. If it was an evolutionary process taking millions of years, then the truest answer is that there was no 'first' human, just an endless procession of increasingly modern looking hominids.
If the Bible were true, then the wrong answer is not Ada either, as he is from the second human creation. If you don't know what I mean, go re-read Genesis Chapter one. First he created man, then he created adam from dust.
The concept thst humans evolved from apes is only because of the similarity in the body structure. Even a cat and a dog is similar, because they walk on 4 legs. But a human is more similar to an ape when comparing with the cat-dog example. So humans did not evolve from apes.
The first man was Adam. I don't know when.....
If the first man on earth was Adam and he had many sons and daughters...does that mean that we are inbreds? I mean after all if you sleep with your sibling that is incest....isn't it?
According to the Bible Adam was the first man and then Lilith was created as his wife, but they got in an arguement, because Adam wanted Lilith to lie beneath him. Lilith fled and became a demon while Adam was given Eve instead
When God, first create human on the sixth day, there were male and female.
Those not Adam and Eve, then after God took rest from creation. God 'made"
Adam, from dust. And made Eve from the rib of Adam.
If you read the Bible, it realy obvious.
This is a religious question and cannot be easily anwered without religious influence. A christian, muslim, would say Adam, as previously stated above. A buddhist posted with his answer of MANU...
I would say, if you're looking for a straight up answer, (this coming from an atheist who believes in science over religious debates which I think is die4m3's opinion, too, just stated in a... Different manner), then you'll have to find out what your religious stand point is, and yes, atheism is a religion.
From this question, all you'll find are opinions that cannot be proven because it's a religious debate, which, I do not get involved in.
There was only the great God exist. Adam was the first man created by The Great God after creation of some animals. First of all the spirit of Muhammad PBUH is created by The God, then Angels are created. Thats creation live in the heavens. After a long time passed the earth and sky were created for man and animal living. The God wishes for creation is who work good and who are not.
Actually all the man kind in the earth, was come from Noah son's, there was 3 group of man will spread out to the earth.
Beacuse all of the man kind were died after the big flood.
The interesting is, now, there are 3 group of man liveing in earth :
1. Caucasoid
2. Mongoloid
3. Negroid.
They are match with the bible right?
In the bible in Genesis, no one said that Adam the first man in the earth.
If God created man on the 6th day. So does that mean human shared the planet with the Dinosaurs? All these stories doesn't make any sense. Probably Adam had a Dinosaur friend.
You know the humans made the god. There is no god. We all came from evolution and you all can see how humans are changing to give rise to next humans. Eg those who will cure AIDS will survive the changed world.
I think that it is only the problem that in bible there they have written that adam and eve,in gita they have written manu and Shatura so we can't say that adam was the first man on earth and also can't that manu was thank
Christians and islam says ADAM was the first person in the earth
but those who says human made from monkeys they are wronge
because human and monkeys DNA are difrent
The first human being ever-was Adam.Created by God as the role of the story behind who we are and what our nature is,but others were created alonside him as seperate gened to prevent incestry.
