African descendants, this is not a racist question, please enlighten me?

Question

It is a fact that your hair is like no other, not even the creatures of this world, how are you in any relation to those bible folks Adam & Eve?
Is there a possibility that they do not apply to you as they certainly don't apply to me.
This question is in no way meant to be racist and I do humble apologise if any of you see it that way.

Answer 1

are non-african decendants related to adam and eve?

adam and eve exist in a book. might i add that the book is, at least somewhat, a work of fiction.

Answer 2

I believe that hair like facial features and skin pigmentation have a great deal to do with where your ancestors settled and the random genetic mutations that changed each population.

Africans have hair that is very curly and dense usually but as you move towards the coasts and more so north you find that the people begin to have smoother but equally dark hair. As you travel around the Mediterranean you find that the people's hair remains dark and somewhat curly/wavy. In the Middle East you find more dark curly hair - some not too different from Africa. Dark hair remains the norm throughout Asia. When you move further north away from the Mediterranean you will find lighter hair and then in Scandinavia you will find very fair skin and pale or red hair. All of these populations have adapted to their surroundings.

As for Adam and Eve, judging from the current conditions in Northern Kenya and the evidence of early humans living there I am hazarding a guess that it is what remains of the Garden of Eden. The Africans share the same ancestry that every other human being on the face of the planet share.

Answer 3

There is no question that this question is racist in nature, content and intention.

The statement that African's hair is like no other creature's of this world is clearly meant to exclude Aficans from humanity and even more in this person's beliefs. Such a statement is not even true, as, one, not all African's hair is of the same texture, and, two, tight curls occur in people of ALL other races.

So, this person is takeing a patently false statement in order to give credence and legitimacy to his predjudice.

His Adam and Eve statement is not as clear, as it is poorly constructed. Is he trying to say that Adam and Eve looked more like him and nothing like Africans? If so, from where did that assumption come? From picture books showing a blond haired, blue eyed couple in the Garden of Eden?

Please, give the intelligent people a break! Children's picture books as a basis for excluding part of humanity?

Sorry, Big Toe, your humble apology rings false.

Answer 4

Hate to break this to you, but pretty much the whole Bible took place in Africa. Adam and Eve certainly weren't European. Also, a lot of people of Jewish descent have the same type of hair as African-Americans do.

Answer 5

//EDITED PLEASE READ//
I decided to change my answer around, because like your question, I think it was a little rude.

People from across the world have curly hair-- for example : ME!!!

Itallians, Irish, africans, and others, have a tendancey to have naturally curly hair.
While the different nationalities curly hair have slight variants-- its all thick, hard to deal with , and typically dry unless you are luckier than heck.

Maybe there were many adam and eve's as some people have suggested, all different.
or maybe we can blame evolution--- both theories make sense to me.
and how do you know they didnt have curly dark hair instead of wavy blonde like all the bible pictures show?

But our differences are what make earth earth, and you shouldnt have to worry about it.
onnce again i say that your question wouldn ot be so racist if the tone was different,

Answer 6

Your mixing apples and oranges. Basically, you're asking a question about science (hair texture) and mixing in religion (adam & eve). To answer your question simply: if there was an adam and eve, they were most likely black. This is according to the scientific knowledge that has been gathered regarding mitochondrial DNA. It is, in fact, Caucasians who are mutations from the original people of this planet. Any study of ethnography will reveal that.

Answer 7

The Bible states that Jesus had skin of Bronze and hair of wool. He is the Son of God and was made in his image. So were Adam and Eve so I guess that means that Jesus and Adam were very similar in looks and Adam and Eve probably had hair like "people of African descent" like you said.

It is not racist. Just incredibly stupid and not well thought out. It is ignorant and since racism is based on ignorance then... wait .... you are racist.

Answer 8

Fact is you do not know how Adam & Eve's hair look like. It could just be that their hair were not like you imagine.Do you know the hair type of your great, great grandfather? Is it the same as yours in every way, particular? It may not therefore means you are 'certainly' not related to him.

Answer 9

Adam and Eve were African. Unfortunately we often see gross distortions of Adam and Eve in pictures as being white people. They also had hair much like blacks or african americans of today.

Answer 10

God created all the races on the 6th day creation (Genesis 1:26-27). God rested on the 7th day. On the 8th day, God notice that he didn't have a farmer. So, he made Adam and Eve. This the genealogy of Christ (Genesis 2:2-7).
The senven day creation is the creation of flesh men only, not the creation of the universe. A side from Genesis 1:1; this was the creation of the universe.
