Best Answer

Homo erectus (upright man), one of the early human species, is known to have used fire. He lived about two million years ago and lasted till about 60,000 BC. An earlier human, homo habilis (handy man), who lived between 2.4 and 1.6 million years ago, is known to have used stone tools.

So it is reasonable to assume that humans were cutting down trees, either for firewood or shelter, or even to span a river, about two million years ago. The name of the first person to cut down a tree is sadly unknown.
