First Man on Earth did not Exist at all!

Was he existed?

     So, by seeing the title you would have known what this article is going to be.  I want you to think about Why we came up with an idea that there would been a first human?

     We all know that you and your cousin are descended from your grandparents and they and your granduncle and grandaunts descended from their grandparents.  When we go back in time there would be a point were your ancestors were also my ancestors.  When we further go back in time at some point there would be a couple from who all the humans alive now are descended from.  This thought made us to assume that we were all descendants of a single man.  

     But simple this is not true.  Yes, there would be a point in time where all the men and women descended from one ancestor, but he would not have been an human.  He would have been an hominin like Homo habilis or Homo erectus.  Or perhaps he would have belonged to another species from which "Homo" genus evolved from.

     The term 'First Man' or even 'First Human' sounds very odd.  How could you tell in a point in evolution that a creature is fully evolved to become another species?  If you are a human then it is sure that your parents and children are also humans.  So if there was a first man, Who could his parents be?  Did just suddenly an ape-like creature gave birth to a first human?  This is not how evolution works.  At any given point in history, a living being's parents were also belonged to the same species that he/she belonged to.  And evolution of new species from an old one is not solid point in time.  There doesn't exist a strong borderline in time that separates a new species from an old one.

     For now I hope you would have learnt the fact that there simply wasn't a first man from whom we all descended from.
