The first person on Earth, according to various religious and mythological beliefs, is often considered to be Adam in Judeo-Christian tradition, who was created by God from dust. In contrast, scientific theories like the theory of evolution suggest that modern humans (Homo sapiens) evolved over millions of years from primate ancestors through natural selection and adaptation. This process involved gradual changes in physical and behavioral traits, leading to the emergence of anatomically modern humans around 300,000 years ago.
The Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos is credited with first questioning the geocentric theory in the 3rd century BC. He proposed a heliocentric model in which the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.

The first person to openly reject Ptolemy's geocentric theory was Nicolaus Copernicus. In his work "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," published in 1543, he proposed a heliocentric model, stating that the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center of the universe, with the planets, including Earth, orbiting around it. This revolutionary idea challenged the long-held belief in an Earth-centered cosmos and laid the groundwork for modern astronomy.
This is known as the heliocentric theory, first proposed by Aristarchus two millenia ago.
Aristotle was the first to develop a geocentric theory. But it is generally accepted that the Greek astronomer Ptolemy provided the most elaborated model of the geocentric view of the universe in which the Earth was the center. This idea lasted for centuries until the time of Copernicus.
