Adam and Eve Origins

Apparently if you get a DNA test, to trace your national heritage, african appears somewhere for everyone. This is linked with the idea that all lines originate from Africa when all the continents were all joined and one.

This kind of relates to the question of why is Adam and Eve depicted as white? They could have been African, they were not white at the very least. Same with Jesus, he was not born in a white country yet every image I see he is depicted as a white man with golden brown hair.

If Adam and Eve really did exist, where would they have resided?

All cultures tend to depict their religious figures as one of them. That's just how it is and it applies to pretty much all religions.

Yes, if Adam and Eve existed on this planet, they were black Africans.

And why are they always depicted with belly buttons?

Adam and Eve are from the mesopotamia. Its called the 'cradle of civilisation' and takes in countries such as Iraq, Turkey & Syria

I dont believe they would have had the appearance of black africans. They would have been middle eastern in appearance....from a middle eastern appearance, skin colour can go darker or lighter... so its more likely that Adam and Eve were closer to the middle spectrum of the colour range.

The first civilizations weren't actually there and the oldest human fossils don't show up there either.

its civilisation as we know it. Its where writing, language, agricultural farming, domestication of animals and creation of technologies first originated.

Humans as we are today began from that point. Prior to that, we were apparently some kind of advanced upright walking monkey according some.

Nope, it's just repeated and pushed often enough to stick. There were cities with thousands of people, thousands of years before utilizing that criteria you mentioned.

this article is about the omo bone fragments found in ethiopia... apparently they've been dated far older then any other hominid bones they have. So its a theory in the making, but its still very circumstantial and relies on the dating of the bones being accurate and relies on the re-construction of the bone fragments being accurately shaped.

they basically find a few fragments and an artist reconstructs what it may have looked like. Are the images they draw based on what the creature actually looked like??? thats anyone's guess and its certainly not something that can be confirmed or proven as correct.

it could be part of a monkey head for all they know.



this article is about human 'ancestors'... which would be some form of hominid assumed to have later evolved into us.




this is also speaking of human 'ancestors'...not actual humans.

our early ancestors, Homo erectus, first appeared in Africa 1–2 million years ago. They spread throughout the world and evolved into ancient humans.

yes i agree, lots of speculation and 'maybe's and 'suggestions' but no substantial proof of the hypothesis they are putting forward.

It depends on who you're talking to as The Bible gives no mention of this.

Kind of like white Santa and black Santa.

If Man was created on Day Six.....

The Garden event is not the same event.
Adam would be a chosen son of God.

Adam could then be of any race or color.
The Garden would be any place of isolation.

Eve had no navel.
She was not born of woman.

She would be Adam's twin sister.
