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.

From a scientific perspective, it is impossible to pinpoint the first human, as our species evolved over time. In religious contexts, different faiths have their own beliefs about the first humans, such as Adam and Eve in Christianity or Adam in Islam.

there Would be no way of knowing for sure but if you trace all the scientific facts the closest thing you can get to as an answer would be the first genetically formed human stemming from some sort of animal, more than likely a Guerrilla. but some believe it could be adam who received his name from god and god got his name from, wellll possibly another human Id assume... otherwise how would we know 👀👁🤔

He was made from the dirt of the ground. According to The Bible he was created as the first man. God then put him to sleep and took out his rib to make Eve.
