Seeing how the Y chromosome appears, under the microscope, to be a mutated X chromosome, then wouldn't it be natural to assume that the female of the species actually existed first?

Eve was here first, but before creating a companion for her, Our Creator swore her to secrecy. "You companion, Adam, will be strong and he will love you, " said The Creator, "but he will have a fragile ego -- so you must always let him believe that I created him first. The truth must always remain a secret, just between you and Me."
Eve replied "Sure thing, it will be just between us girls!"

The biblical answer would be most definitely that Adam existed first.
However as males do not give birth, the natural answer would appear to be Eve ( womb) existed first.
I was taught that in the natural beginnings all those that would be called humans carried both genders.
Over time these early humans developed into distinct and separate genders.Hence the broken chromosome X that shows as Y. A detailed inspection of human genitalia appears to confirm this
Subsequently all those humans that continued to carry both genders were eliminated and hunted down as freaks of nature.
Some of these early humans still exist today , we know them as
hermaphrodites.
Who existed first? Adam or Eve ?
Neither!

According to my learning Adam was created first then Eve followed.
Even if this is a belief, whenever a Christian or Muslim is buried the recitation "from the earth we came and to the earth we must return".. maybe not in the exact same words but the meaning is the same in both religions. This must hold some truth that God created man from the earth, Adam being the first.
I don't fuss much over what homosexuals want, but the scriptures clearly state 'in the creation of mankind was Adam and Eve (male and female)' NOT Adam and Steve!!

According to the bible, God made Adam; then Eve from Adam's rib. We are all descended from their descendants, and it could be argued that we needed to start from an X-Chromosone point of view because we start in a female body (our mother).
However, old - very old - traditions say that God created Man and Woman at the same time; Adam and Lilith, joined back to back; then God separated them. However Lilith was too dominant (some versions say it was because she insisted on copulating in the "Cowboy" position, riding Adam, instead of the "Missionary" position, where he would be dominating her) and so she was expelled from Eden, and went fornicating with all sorts - animals, angels, devils (depending on the source). Lilith has been called the Mother of All Demons, and some theorise her offspring could have been the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis before the Flood.
A very few sources tell that God then made a second wife from the "ground up" so to speak, and Adam watched. Seeing her made of all the bits in us - shot, pus, mucus, blood, spleen, bile, etc - Adam couldn't bring himself to touch her, let alone name her. So she too left Eden, with no name, and nothing more has ever been recorded of her.
The God knocked Adam out, removed a rib (near the heart, so stories say) and created Eve, so when Adam awoke - there she was.
Not sure how this fits in with your question, especially as most of this is from tradition, not the Bible or Koran, but there you go.
Believe what you wish. Seek answers for the sake of answers, but do not ask questions for the sake of asking.

Wow, I never considered that angle but its true! All embryos are conceived female and then either mutate into having a Y chromosome making them male or they remain female throughout development.
LOL wait till someone tells you that "God" will do what he wants and create who he wants first. Or that Adam was never given the chance to mutate since he was never an embryo but "born" into adult life. Religion... an excuse for all scientific fact.
Will anybody here make an argument about disproving this statement without refering to the Bible - not everyone believes pieces of scripture written several thousand years ago.

Assume what you want but Adam came first (Genesis Chapter 1) By asking about Adam and Eve one would naturally assume that you believe in the bible but then again maybe that's not true. God Bless

NO! That chromosome pattern predates the genus Homo. Please at least get the facts straight before you start misrepresenting them to establish a false proof. If you go back down the chains far enough then you find not just two sexes but at least five. The science is far stranger than the fiction. That is what makes it so hard for the simpler minded people to believe what has been discovered about this big old world.

I find these kind of questions so wierd. The Bible clearly tells us that Adam came first, then Eve.(Gen chapter 1.26) So many people have doubts and would rather "see" the proof rather than believing in the truth. Same thing atheists have a problem with. Unless they can't see it, they don't believe it. What about the wind??

I could be wrong, but i believe i heard it was the mitochondrial Eve who was first... the chromosomal Adam appeared later in time.

Adam existed first. God made Eve by using one of Adam's ribs.
