There's never been a clear 'first' of any species; that's the whole point/process we call evolution.

I have to disagree somewhat. Even if we can't decided or agree on what is the first modern human, there had to have been a first modern human. Even if it was almost indistinguisable from it's parents. There had to have been some mutation that was the last mutation that went into making us what we are today. The first 2 modern humans probably weren't man and wife though but parent and child.
