Best Answer
A:The first people came from Africa, where black skin protected them from excesive ultraviolet radiation and the risk of skin cancer. As our distant ancestors migrated into Europe, this became a disadvantage, since we need exposure to ultraviolet radiation to make vitamin D in our bodies. The first Europeans, gradually and over many generations, lost their dark colouration and began to develop white skin. There was no one first white person, first because the difference from one generation to the next was imperceptible and secondly because at any one time there were many white people in Europe.

Is the word anthroperson a real word?

Not that I have ever heard. "Anthro" is from the greek word for a human being, and "person" is from the Latin "persona". However, just because nobody has ever used it before, it doesn't mean you cannot use it. New words which are intended to pass into common use are called "coinings" and new words which are intended to be used only once are called "nonce words". If you think the world needs this word, go ahead and use it, but you had better be sure that your reader is told what you mean by it.
