Here's the two first humans in Northern mythology.. (well perhaps not originally in anthro ^^)
They were called Ash and Embla, (Ash and Brich) who one day were washed up on a shore. Odin, The one eye, The Allfather, the Gray found the two pieces of driftwood and started to carv them into a man and a woman. He made them for eachother and they became the first humans to walk on Middle Earth's beautiful landscape. They became a symbol of love and of the equal importance of the two genders. Ash was the solid and strong, a symbol of currage and wisdome. Birch is the tree of life and one of the strongest runes. She is beautiful and hardy with a mind of those thing that Ash lack. They cannot be without eachother.
Odin were so tuoched by his creation and of the world they plowed and harvested that he offered them a place in Asgard when they died. The brave who died in battle were placed in odins private army, which feasted every night and trained in the art of battle. The beautiful and loving were placed in under Freyas care. They were given a life of love and lust witghout remorse or regret. The just and honest, who died of age sickness or injury, were given farms and gardens by the florishing woods outside Asgards walls. Where they could live a life in peace and harmony, after their long and hard life.
The ones wo had lived a life in cowardice lies and racket...... they were placed in Niphelheim. Hel's realm. They were doomed to an undead life in dirt, mud and cold water. Coverd in bugs and parasites. Forever starving and forever thirsting.. Hel, the woman with two faces, could be both grim and brutal, and yet smiling and forgiving at some times.
For those who have red things different: There are no "bible" of the old norse mythology. It lives on through people and speach. And it can thereby be translated in many different ways. The goal with Asa-faith (norse mythology) is not to "save" people into salvation. It's about "be a decent person and think befor you act!" And it's up to every single person to have their own view of it all.
Sorry for all the spelling errors ^^ Thanks for looking!

I've have many times heard that people thinks that the Norse mythology version of the first humans is to similar to the one in the bible and that it's just a plain ripp-off. But a man and a woman being the first people is just common sense, how could else could there be more life after them?
I wroth in english, I sometimes get annoyed that I can't understand what other people have commented. I guess other people also get annoyed when they can't either.
I also just felt the need to comment. And maybe receive a answer :P

Yea, - once again - sorry for late reply.
Well, according to the bible, Eva was created from one of Adam's ribbs, which makes the man the more important creature... I could say that I prefer the sk. "pagan" verision of the first humans. When Ask and Embla was carved by Odin, he made them both for eachother. Ash is a tool-wood. It's strong and flexible and can be used for hard work. Birch, wich was the wood he carved Embla from, is also the symbol of life. "Bjarka" is the life-rune and is probably refering to all the ways the birch has been vital for the humans of old. When studying old crafts, it really dawned upon me how many different uses the birch can be put to. Warm Fire, tar, soap, pigments, tanning, household tools, cups, drinks, alcohol and functional-enough bows are just few of it's uses..
Gods I can speak for hours about this can't I.... x3
Any way..
The thing of pagan religion being a rippoff is quite a strange thing to say. Especially when the Asa-faith has been in use for over a millenia when the christianity first reached the northern lands, for what we know. If it could be "compared" to any other religion, the I would say that the Hinduism would be much closer. Thinking of the circle of creation and destruction.
Sorry for babbeling x3
