The Explanation of The First History Man in the subtitles

Many people didn't understand what The First History Man meant in the subtitles at the end of the film, and where it came from. It was thought made up by Miller.

It’s not a problem that Miller made up this himself, but nobody knows what the concept of The First History Man means, and everyone is asking.

Actually, it comes from political philosophy.

Fukuyama quoted the concepts of Hegel and Hobbes in his famous book "The End of History and the Last Man", the so-called "first man": the "state of nature" of the human race in the concept of Hobbes, a "war of all against all" takes place, and the first man wins this bloody “battle of courage” to gain freedom. The war is not about survival, but gaining freedom and respect. The party that admits defeat in the battle of courage will surrender his dignity and freedom and become a slave, while the winner will gain freedom and the right to enter history. He is the "first man in history", The First History Man.

So the entire experience and state of Max are perfectly suitable for this title. He is "the first historical man".
