Özet

The aim of this study is to assess human behaviors, based on the information about the first human on Eastern and Western civilizations. This study, which is carried out without entering the theories of conflict between civilizations, basically emphasizes on the difference of the human conceptions of both civilizations. Since Western civilization originated in ancient Greece, Western type human prototype was discussed in terms of the information's given in Greek mythology. Prometheus myth was discussed in the context of mainly human but with handling side variants of God and women. As a human prototype of Eastern civilization, information's provided by Islam/Qur'an in the creation of human have been evaluated. The information given by both civilizations to human beings is seen to shape our present world in terms of God, human, universe, women, science, power etc.
