### Question: 
The listener (M. M. Y.) from the Yemen Arab Republic, Al Hudaydah Governorate, sent a message asking: "I heard from some people that there was a primitive human before Adam who disappeared before Adam appeared. Is this correct?"

### Answer: 
There is no basis for this; rather, this is one of the myths. There was no other human before Adam. Yes.
