It depends who you ask:

According to the Old Testament, Adam was the first person on earth. Then Eve was created out of his rib.

If you'll ask scientists you'll probably get a different answer.

We probably will never know the answer to this question from a scientific point of view, since the emergence of "modern" human beings occurred at least 195,000 years ago in eastern Africa. This has been confirmed by both fossil discoveries and DNA studies on today's humans. This time is so far back into prehistory that it is highly unlikely that we will ever be able to identify the first person on any scientific basis.

Various cultural and religious mythologies convey "first man" and "first woman" stories, which are most likely allegorical rather than historical. However, belief in these stories is widespread, and they provide a basis for many people to identify with their cultural and religious origins.
