No one knows for certain. The oldest civilized archaeological sites are in the Sumerian region and also in Nigeria. Not sure which is older. Nor am I sure that they were the "first".

All early civilizations tell of a great flood too. \n\nThey didn't all develop independently, but had to come from one source.  DNA suggests that, early civilizations studies suggest that all humans came from a single male and a single female somewhere in the Middle East or Northern Africa.

I'd say the first scientific attitude would be intelligence (I suppose that's not really an attitude).  This is something that your question does not demonstrate much of.

Sumer (or Shumer, Egyptian Sangar, Bib. Shinar, native ki-en-gir) (3500-2334 BCE) was an ancient civilization located in the southern part of Mesopotamia (modern day southeastern Iraq) from the time of settlement by the Sumerians until the time of Babylonia. The term "Sumerian" applies to all speakers of the Sumerian language. It is the oldest civilization in the world.

The first humans were black, if that's what you mean. Adam and Eve were Jewish, naturally.\n\n=p

Israel is associated with the earliest stage in the history of humanity by the "Galilee Skull", while recent excavations in Jericho have produced the oldest evidence of organized city life.  \nThe first known inhabitants of Israel in historic times were the Canaanites from whom the land long took its name. By c. 3000-2500 BCE the inhabitants seem to have been largely Semitic speaking; they introduced the use of bronze and developed cities. The Bible mentions seven tribes which dominated the country. The long struggle for its control between the South (Egypt) and the North (Assyria), which - in varying political forms - was to dominate the local scene down to the 19th cent. had already begun at this time. The country was now divided into large numbers of warring city-states ruled over by petty "kings." \n\nIt first enters into Jewish history with the immigration of Abraham whose descendants continued to consider it their home. The Tel El Amarna letters throw much light on conditions in Canaan in the 15th cent. BCE and on the conquests of the Semitic "Habiru," perhaps denoting or comprising incursions by the Israelite tribes. The Israelite tribes gave the country (henceforth "the land of Israel") its unity and historic significance. Except during the brief Crusading interlude (1099-1187), the concept of "Palestine" has in fact existed only in relation to Israelite and Jewish history. The Israelites' invasion was a slow and difficult process: they first established themselves in the plains, and only gradually obtained control of the hill-country; the process was completed with the capture by King David of Jerusalem in c. 1000 BCE. Meanwhile, the disunited and sometimes warring Israelite tribes, ruled over by regional Judges, were the prey of other invaders from the north and east. The most dangerous were the Philistines, sea-invaders from the Aegean, near Greece, who obtained firm control of the Maritime Plain in the 12th cent. BCE and thence pushed inland.  \n\nFor a time, it seemed probable that they would subdue the whole country. But the threat forged union on the Israelite tribes at last, largely through the spiritual dominance of the Prophet Samuel and the military genius of King Saul who established a monarchy embracing the entire country. His work was completed by his son-in-law King David who finally crushed the Philistine menace and extended the boundaries of the state in all directions. The latter's son King Solomon raised the kingdom to a great pitch of magnificence by his maritime enterprises, his lavish court, and his ambitious buildings, including the Temple at Jerusalem to serve as a religious center. The heavy taxation which all this necessitated resulted in widespread discontent, and after King Solomon's death, the northern tribes revolted.  \n\nHenceforth, the Land of Israel was divided for many years into two rival and sometimes warring states -- the smaller kingdom of Judah in the south [from which derives the word "Jew"], and the larger, more luxurious and more powerful kingdom of Israel (or Shamron-Samaria) to the north. The latter, weakened by internal dissensions between rival dynasties and recurrent wars with the kingdom of Syria (Damascus), succumbed in 721 to the Assyrians, its inhabitants being to a great extent deported and replaced by new settlers.  \n\nThe kingdom of Judah, more secluded geographically and more staunch spiritually and politically, for the moment escaped but succumbed in 586 before the Babylonians (Iraq). Jerusalem was now destroyed, large numbers of the inhabitants deported, and the monarchy abolished. An attempt to renew organized political life in subordination to Babylonia under Gedaliah, a member of the old royal house, was ended by his assassination (582 BCE).  \n\nOn the overthrow of the Babylonian Empire, the Persian (Iranian) king Cyrus permitted the children of the exiles, who had continued to cherish

The first fire in the world no doubt occurred during the first thunderstorm of the first summer after the first plants started to grow on land.  As for who discovered it, that is lost in the murky past.

Neither were the first to be born.  Humans came from a large group of primates that evovled into humans, so there was never just one human to begin with.  Religion gives an oversimplified explanation of where humans came from with no evidence other than stories that were written thousands of years ago to prove their point.

eratosthenes of cyrene (in what is now libya) was an ancient philosopher in the 3rd century BC.  he was able to measure the circumference of the earth and published his details in a treatise called 'on the measurement of the earth'.  the measurement was based on a geometrical argument and a measurement of shadows cast in different places, that assumed a round earth.\n\ni don't know if he was the -first-, but it's the earliest that i'm aware of and is often cited as the 'first'.  it is possible some other scientist had done the measurement earlier, and the results are simply lost in the dusts of time.

Read some of Zecharia Sitchins books....taken from 7000 year old text. \n\nAlso, the Bible could be speaking of the populated world at the time. Or civilization as it was known then.
