The earliest Homo sapiens were probably too homogenous to have identifiable racial characteristics. The development of pale skin and longer noses, such as in those of European origin, arose in response to the cold climates. but since Homo sapiensevolved in Africa, we could perhaps say Africans were the first race on earth.

Of course there were earlier humans, including our immediate predecessors, Homo erectus, but they were really separate species, not just different races or ethnic groups. At this stage, Ardipithecus ramidus is probably our oldest known ancestor, but much still needs to be learnt about the hominids who lived millions of years ago.

What do the terms race and ethnicty means?

The term 'race' originates out of biology. It implies a genus that can breed amongst each other. Ethnicity, or an ethnic group, refers to a group of people that share a common culture, geographic region, ancestry, etc. In other words, ethnicity is what people wrongfully refer to when saying 'race'. However, we humans belong to the same genus, or race, and so we can interbreed with each other. Therefore, we are ONE race with many ethnic groups.
