If we all came from Adam and eve then why are we different races????

Question

iv always wonderd that

Answer 1

Well you can quit wondering and sorry to bust your bubble Adam & Eve never existed they are simply a myth a fixtional story about how man came about, as far as our differences that could be a mystery.

Answer 2

Well not that I believe in the Adam and Eve story, but it has be genetically proven that all races came from one single point of origin. The mitochondria that humans have is the exact same. You can tell how old a race of people are by the amount of mutation variations in their DNA. Blacks have to most mutation variations contained in their DNA, so it's safe to assume that if Adam and Eve did exist, then it's a good bet that they were black.

Answer 3

Well imagine if everyone was white with blond hair and blue eyes - everyone looked the same and we all spoke the same language - how would that be, wpuld it be a good thing or a bad thing? Its better if theres different races different languages, different places to visit and I like LEARNING about different cultures. People had to adapt and I guess God wanted a world of different cultures, ethnicity's and backgrounds but I think he wanted to be remembered - which a lot of people don't - some people don't even beleieve in God which I find very sad. It is what it is.

Answer 4

I'm not religious, but there seem to have been an Adam (and possibly also an Eve). This has been determined by genetic research. This man "Adam" is not the Adam from the bible, but the scientific Adam. He lived about 60,000 years ago in the East of Africa, and only his ancestors survived. All genes of all males living on earth today can be traced back to him. This means he was not the only human in his days. Also about this time these people started to leave Africa and their body adapted to the different environments they lived in. Just the same as many species of animals grew apart after they got separated in any way.
Religious people will fall over me for making a comparison with dogs, but to humans is happening just about he same way there are now shepperd, retrievers and all kinds of dogs. And further away in the family tree of the dogs are wolves, foxes etc.. Further away in our family tree are eg. the apes.
It's just how evolution works.
Check out this link, it explains how humans spread over the world after Adam, and most of what you're questioning will be explained on this site. They also explain clear how this genetic search works.

Answer 5

Adam and Eve were black, as all the early humans were, according to midocondrial dna. As people moved to the colder climates, their skin, hair & eyes got lighter, as they no longer needed the pigmentation to protect them from the sun. That's why there are different races.

Answer 6

we all come from adam and eve but what u have to realize is that its like they had kids and their kids had kids and so on and so on...so u could only imagine that ffrom time to time those offspring "hooked" up with many many many different people and everyone got married and had kids of their own and so it just goes on and on....anyway think of what kind of world it would be if we were all the same race and color and culture and background and everyone kinda looked alike....how boring and plain would that be?

Answer 7

Hence the reason why we don't come from Adam and Eve. If that were true then we would all be retarded because we would have inter family breeding.

Answer 8

Genetics

Answer 9

Regardless if we came from Adam, or naturally, we did have one common ancestor. From that common ancestor, adaption, or micro-evolution occured. Even now for example, we can create new breeds of animals with selective breeding, using genetic science.

Answer 10

Because Adam and Eve are a story...not the truth.
