Question: when the first people were on earth how old were they and how did they survie

Amy Heather Fitzpatrick answered on 20 Nov 2019:

The oldest fossils confirmed to be Homo Sapiens were found in Ethiopia, and date back almost 200,000 years ago. As they were hunter gatherers, they probably only lived to age 30-35, like the Neanderthals, that came before them and early Roman’s and Greeks. We don’t really know how they lived, as anything that used in their daily lives, was not found alongside the bones. This is probably as they degraded/broke down over time.
