Where did the very first people come from?
The Long Walk Home
Where did the very first people come from?
Everybody has a mom and a dad. And those moms and dads had moms and dads too. So if you keep going back, and back, and back — where does the very first "person" begin? Grab your imaginary time machine. This is a very long trip.
Here's the twist: there was never a single "first person" who popped out one morning while everyone cheered. Being human snuck up on us. It happened so slowly that no parent ever looked at their baby and gasped, "Behold, the first human!" Each kid was just a tiny bit different from their parents. Multiply that by a million years, and something new appears.
