According to the creation tradition of Abrahamic religions Adam is the first human.

In the Genesis creation narratives, Adam was created by the Lord God.

7 then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground,[b] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7)

Furthermore, God created humankind in his image.

When God created humankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them “Humankind” when they were created.” (Genesis 5:1-2)

God created a garden for the humans to live and grow in and called it Eden. In the garden with Adam and Eve were angels whose role was to educate and guide the first humans.
