It can't be the case that the first sin is what made humans human, at least not for Christianity. Back up to 1:26-27 for what Christians take to be the thing that makes humans humans. They were fully human prior to eating of the tree.
But did they know some right from wrong before eating? Yes, and they are held accountable for exactly that when they eat anyway.
What exactly "knowledge of good and evil" entails, given that they are already morally accountable before that point, is an interesting topic to unpack. It must be closely related to an idolatrous belief that, not only am I in the likeness of God and so can discern right from wrong, but I am _so_ like him that I get to _decide_ what's right and wrong.
