Scientists say that first human was black woman. From where came the second human ?

You are probably thinking of the genetic studies that concluded that the most recent human common matrilineal ancestor was a woman in Africa about 150,000 years ago.  Those studies examined mitochondrial DNA from various sample groups existing today.  Those studies are valid, but only demonstrate what they purport to: everyone alive today is descended from a woman in Africa (almost certainly black) who lived about 150,000 years ago and there is no other more recent woman from whom everyone is descended.\n\nThat does not mean she was the first human or even the first human female.  She lived in a group, all of whom were human.  She had a mother and father, both of whom were human.\n\nIt is never going to be possible to say any particular person was the first human.  The transformation from homo erectus to homo sapiens took a very long time and occurred very gradually.  They sort of fade into one another.  You can't single out any one point in the process and say Here!  Here is where it happened!

One thing for sure, HUMANS DID NOT EVOLVE FROM PRIMATES.\n\nLife was formed out of Africa.  All humans were first Black Men and Women.  Other races are "Mutations" of the original Black Men and Women of Africa.

No one knows when, where or how human life began on this planet. It's all speculation. Some of the theories are based on scientific evidence, but everyone knows that they are just possible scenarios and full of gaps.\nSomeone lied to you by saying that "white people were allways apriciated" and that "black people...were the "sclaves" of white people. It just nonsense that racists use to assert that black people are sub-human or animals. \nIf you believe that Adam and Eve were the first humans ever, and that God created them, and we are all direct descendants, and no other humans can or have ever existed on this planet; then you're basically screwed because nothing in life will ever make sense.

The Egyptians were what we would call black people.  The current North african type is a result of massive Arab invasions that took place  during the 7th and 8th centuries AD.  During the time of Ancient Egypt, the Arabs had a marginal population throughout the world.  There is an extremely wide range of ethinic groups and physical types throughout the continent of Africa, all of which fall into the category of what we would call black people.  There is no such thing as an independent racial type.  The Ancient Nubians have been accepted as "extremely black" and they occupied the exact same climate and region as the Egyptians did.  For the Egyptians to be anything but black, would take a scientific miracle that world as yet to see.

Try reading John Milton's book, Paradise Lost...it will clear up all of your "first people on earth" questions.

In terms of actual, hard paleontological and archaeological evidence, there is no disagreement amongst the scientific community that Homo sapiens originated in Africa.\n\nThis has nothing to do with the fact that three of the modern species of great ape, which are also the three which are most closely genetically linked to modern humans are found in Africa.  This is strong corroborating evidence, but it is the actual physical bones and tools of early humans that are first found in Africa.\n\nThis also takes place LONG after the break up of Pangea.  A map of the Earth at the time would look pretty much exactly the same as it does now.  The main differences would be on the coast lines, where differences in sea levels during glaciations or in inter-glacial periods would reveal or conceal large sections of coastal real estate.\n\nThe African origin of humans is also evidenced in mitochondrial DNA studies and other projects mapping the human genome and regional variations.  The greatest genetic diversity among all human populations occurs amongst African peoples.  Genetic comparisons between groups such as the San and !Kung tribes of the Kalahari, the Mbutu tribes of the Congo basin, and populations in East and West Africa show more genetic variability than exists between Asians, North American Indians and Europeans.  This indicates that Africa was the site of the original development of the human population, and that all the other groups of human 'races' are actually descended from just one group of the diverse African genetic mileau (the East African branch actually).  \n\nYes, that means that if you were able to trace back through the family trees you would find that the Grand Wizard of the KKK is actually more closely related to the Masai warriors of Kenya than Oprah Winfrey is (who is of West African descent).\n\nFrom Africa, humans spread out all over the globe, crossing land bridges and sailing across stretches of water to reach Australia at least 45,000 years ago (by the Upper Swan River near Perth, as well as the Willandra lakes region in the southern interior by 40,000 years ago), and crossing the Beringia land bridge exposed between Alaska and Russia to colonize North America about 12,000 years ago.\n\nThe only debate in scientific circles is whether there was one or several migrations of humans out of Africa.  The first anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) appear in South Africa, at the cave complex of Klasies River Mouth by 100,000 years ago.  After that, the same phenotypic subspecies, with a distinctive round cranium, thin walled skull, lack of a strong brow ridge and a protruding chin (also known as a mental eminence) started appearing in the Middle East, Europe and Asia.\n\nSome indicate that this suggests that anatomically modern humans arose in South Africa, and spread out once again from there to take over or intermingle with all of the populations of earlier Homo sapiens (such as the Neandertals) that had migrated out of Africa.  There are others who have proposed a 'regional continuity' model, where the populations of Homo sapiens that had moved out of Africa and into Europe and Asia somehow totally independently for some reason developed the exact same phenotypic changes in morphology seen in the South African population, and Homo sapiens sapiens evolved throughout the entire range of the species.  No one has yet managed to propose a viable mechanism for this unusual pattern of evolution.  It has always seemed to me to be a vaguely racist hypothesis, as if even scientists are unwilling to accept the evidence that all humans could possibly have come from Africa THAT recently.\n\nStrong, independent physical evidence comes from the fields of palaeontology, archaeology, geology, biogeography, and genetics that humans definitely originated in Africa, and moved out from there to colonize the rest of the world.  There is also evidence that it happened as many as three times (Homo erectu

Clarify! Do you mean human as in Homo sapiens, or human in the sense of "hominid"? Big difference in the answers. And I don't think many of them have cutesy names like Lucy.

There is some debate on this, but from my Archaeology class, I learned that the first real human (homo sapien) found is approximately 160,000-120,000 years old.  This skeleton was found at Klasies River Mouth, South Africa.  \n\nI hope this helps!

According to Mythology, Manu was the first Human being

Ummm...no. This information is entirely incorrect. God created the Garden of Eden in what was to become Mesopotamia, for He listed the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Genesis, thus indicating the location. Therefore, the first peoples were most likely Middle-Eastern--not African, Caucasian, or Asian.\n\nSecondly, Cain only killed his brother, Abel, because God favored Abel. Genesis 4:8 reads, "Now Cain said to his brother Abel, 'Let's go out to the field.' And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him."\n--New International Version (NIV) of the Bible\n\nCain was then punished by God who proclaimed, "When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."\n-Genesis 4:12\n\nHowever, he protected Cain from someone murdering him by swearing that he (the murderer) would "suffer vengeance seven times over."\n\nFinally, Cain did not move to Africa, nor was he banished to Africa. Genesis 4:16-17 clearly states, "(16) So Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. (17) Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city and he named it after his son Enoch."\n\nAlso, Pontius Pilate was the Roman official who was hesistant to sentence Jesus to death, but ultimately decided to give the maddening crown an ultimatum: free the murderer Barabus, or crucify the man claiming to be the son of man. Obviously, they chose to crucify Jesus.\n\nAll in all, I seem to find a majority of African Americans actually believe the Gospel and worship Jesus. There seems to be a stronger correlation between African-Americans believing in Jesus Christ than there is of Caucasians believing in Him. However, that could just be where I live.

The first person I thought of was Gregor Mendel, but everyone already pretty much knew that plants were alive already, he just showed that they have genetics.

Since this is the Science section:  The most widely held *scientific* theory ... accepted by the overwhelming majority of biologists ... is that humans evolved from an earlier form of primate, and split from the other primates about 6 million years ago.  \n\nThe defining characteristic that led to the development of humans, and further divergence (separation) from the other primates, is an enormous expansion of the cerebral cortex part of the brain, (which may have been largely accelerated by the development of very articulate vocal cords).
