The first volcanic eruption happened before the first human existed. The earth has had erupting volcanoes since just about the first years that it existed - about four and a half billion years ago. In fact, some of the best places for finding the fossils of ancient humans are in East Africa because they are buried in ashes of ancient volcanoes that erupted around them. The planets Mars, Venus and Jupiter's moon Io also have volcanoes on them.

Volcanoes were never invented. They are geological structures that have existed since the crust of the Earth began to solidify.

The internal temperature of the Earth is about 6 000 degrees, and this is the source of heat that drives the volcanoes. Very early in the Earth history, there was a period known as the Hadean, which lasted for about 600 million years, and volcanoes dominated the environment until the Earth cooled somewhat.

Vulcanism is as old as the earth itself. Before the earth even had much of an atmosphere, before it had oceans, before it was even completely cooled and solid, it has volcanoes.
