In the broadest sense, there was no "first person", even if we only ask who was the first person who was a modern human, a member of Homo sapiens. This is because we could not say definitively that this person was finally a Homo sapiens,but that his or her parents were still Homo erectus. Evolution is simply too gradual for such simple answers. What we do know is that the first Homo sapiens evolved over two hundred thousand years ago.
We could regard our Homo erectus ancestors as people, although not yet modern humans, or even their Homo habilisancestors as people. Many scientists regard their more ancient predecessors as too primitive and too different to really be people in the sense that we usually use the word. So there would be a broad consensus that Homo habilis were the first people on earth.
