Abel Tasman, that adventurous chap, had a bit of a run-in with the indigenous Māori people when he stumbled upon New Zealand in 1642. Let's just say it wasn't a warm and fuzzy first encounter - there were misunderstandings, skirmishes, and not a lot of mutual understanding. Tasman named the place "Murderers' Bay" for a reason, so yeah, not the best first impression.

What was the world's first murder?

When Cain killed Abel. For Christians, who believe that Adam and Eve were the first creations and that all life began with them, the first murder was as previously stated Cain killing his brother Abel because he was jealous that God had accepted Abel's offering of a meat sacrifice and not his own of fruits and vegetables.


Who were the first humans?

A range of views from WikiAnswers contributorsJudaism and Christianity teach that the first humans were Adam and Eve (Hebrew: Chava). Muslims refer to them as Adam and Hawaa. Many religions have stories that tell us who the first people in this world were and these usually have a time frame of a few thousand years ago.Archaeologists tell us that people have lived on earth for millions of years. Our own species is called Homo sapiens, but we were preceded by other species such as Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and the Australopithecus genus. Archaeology defines "human" as members of the genus Homo. Currently the earliest known member of this genus is Homo habilis which is thought to have existed from 2 million years ago.


Do catholics believe in dinosaurs and cave men?

This is a pretty touchy issue for most old school catholics. This is because there is very little/no mention of dinosaurs in the bible (Although check out Job, it mentions a scaled land beast with legs like trees, and a massive water beast that belches flames and scare angels and no weapon can break it's hide). They also believe that Adam and Eve were the first people and after them came Cain and Abel and then eventually Noah, Abraham and so on; so it's hard for them to believe in cave men too. Luckily some more liberal open Catholics can believe in the bible AND not ignore scientific evidence.
