The Last Humans to Die
-
immortals are coming!
Shiva wanted to create immortals but Brahma objected to it saying he can't control the universe then. Now, Prakriti might create it!
-
Which Shiva?
in which time cycle?
Also what does immortal mean because as it is used in the Puranas in general, it could mean relative immortality, which is not immortality but a long duration of life based on drinking a special beverage (amrit) which causes the subtle body to last much longer.

Beautiful question!
There are several creation or Genesis stories in Puranas over several time cycles and eons.
This is from Matsya Purana! (15th purana)
Manu at that time is Svayambhuva, I don't have the Brahma's name and this is a Shiva who was born as Brahma's son. In several creations, Shiva comes down as Brahma's son to help.
Story begins:
Brahma married Shatarupa and they lived together as man and wife for a hundred years. Their son was named Svayambhuva Manu. Hearing the account, Vaivasvata Manu exclaimed. ―But what you have just said is truly amazing. How could Brahma have married his own daughter? Surely that is a sin.‖―Perhaps,‖ replied Vishnu, ―but it is not for humans to judge the actions of the gods. How could creation proceed if Brahma did not marry Shatarupa?‘
To continue with the account of the creation, Brahma created a sage named Sanatakumara and Shiva.
Brahma asked Shiva to help him in the act of creation. ―Why don‘t you create some beings as well?‘ asked Brahma. Shiva complied and started to create. But all the beings that he created were just like him in appearance. That is , they were all immortal. ―What are you doing?‖ asked Brahma. ―Don‘t create immortal beings. Create mortal ones instead.‖
―That I refuse to do,‖ retorted Shiva. ―If I am to create, I shall create only immortals.‖―Please do not create then,‖ requested Brahma. ―I will take care of creation myself.‖

After this second surgery of a regulatory gland, he may reconsider.Last human to die? Not yet! Over a long time (cosmic scale kind of) Nature may yields in certain aspects of its choosing. In the meantime, many dream of grand unsustainable possibilities.
All will surely bite the dust for now. Better luck with the several next bodies, lol
