According to the creation tradition of Abrahamic religions Adam is the first human.
Created in God's Image
In the Genesis creation narratives, Adam was created by the Lord God.
"then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)
Furthermore, God created humankind in his image.
"When God created humankind, he made them in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them “Humankind” when they were created.” (Genesis 5:1-2)
The Garden of Eden
God created a garden for the humans to live and grow in and called it Eden. The Garden was placed on good land where there was food and water as well as gold and precious stone.
"And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food,.."(Genesis 2:8)
"A river flows out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divides and becomes four branches. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there." (Genesis 2:10-12)
