Is tribes were the first people in the world?

Tribes are often considered among the earliest forms of social organization in human history, but they were not necessarily the "first" people in the world. Early humans, known as Homo sapiens, emerged in Africa around 200,000 to 300,000 years ago and lived in small, mobile groups or bands, which can be seen as precursors to more structured tribal societies. Over time, as humans migrated and settled in various environments, these groups evolved into more complex tribes with distinct cultures and social structures.
