Who was giving birth to the first homo sapiens? Was it a representative of a former human species that all of a sudden gave birth to a “mutation” that was homo sapiens baby?

Also how did male/female homo sapiens come about?

There are no hard lines that divide species over time. It’s all just gradual change over thousands of generations. A million years ago they were all *homo erectus* and over time since then, they gradually started looking more and more human-like, until today. There’s no point where you could look at a pair of mates and say “the parents aren’t *homo sapiens*, but their baby is”. That never happens. Speciation is slow and gradual. Babies are always at most just slightly different than their parents. A small mutation here, a small mutation there, and it snowballs over thousands of generations until there’s been so many mutations that the great-x10000-grandchildren look hardly anything like their ancestors.
