It's called genetic adaption to environment.
As different groups of early humans went to different parts of the globe, climate, topography and weather changed. Their bodies either adapted genetically or they didn't survive to breed or they died before successfully raising the young and the young didn't survive to breed.

Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the Jewish people. When the Bible was written, the "known world" was not as large as we know the world is now.
When Moses wrote that Adam and Eve were the first people, he didn't know that Australia existed, he didn't know that China existed, he didn't know that the Americas existed. Remember that the Bible came from oral history. Moses was the first to write down what was passed down through oral tradition for a couple thousand years.
Judeo-Christian tradition is the not the only creation story in existence. The Aborigines of Australia have their own creation story. Amazonian tribes all have their own creation stories. And while the creation story from the Bible is the one that represents my own personal beliefs, that doesn't invalidate any one else's creation story.

There are several *Signs* of Allah/Yahweh/Lord of the lords. One of The Signs is the differences in the languages spoken, of complexion, of races and tribes. Biologically, one tribe can donate blood, organs to another tribe's member; also have inter-tribal marriage. To that extent, we all are the offsprings of Adam and Eve. Yet, the Signs ! This calls for spiritual reflection... That there is the Creator with a plan. No promotion from the monkey race. No evolution.

We didn't come from Adam and Eve! This is some ficticious story made up a few thousand years ago. The universe also wasn't created in 7 days, or 10,000 years ago.

Haven't you heard of evolution? Adam and Eve was just a story made up when people wanted an explanation for their existence. The 'big bang' theory has been made up by scientists for the same reason.

Breaking off. We adapted to where we lived.
It seems as though when there were 2 humans they had to reproduce with close family alot of the time. For that reason, we would have adverse mutation effects in our genes. So basically, at the very beginning we mutated based on environment, and so on that differences in races and colors happened extremely fast.
For example:
African Americans - They have a large amount of melanin in their skin, this could be one generation of adverse gene mutation, as it is one value in our genetics.

Even if you believe in evolution or not, we all decended from two people anyways. We have difference between races because of the gene pools. If you separated people from the same family, they will be missing some of the genes from the same common parents. Thus if you separate them geographically, they will change because their genes are limited. If you would like more information on this, go to www.drdino.com

Why have features on earth been dated millions of years old if the earth was only created however many years ago?
I think the Bible is a nice story but nothing more. It is filled with too many contradictions and inaccuracies to be truthful. It contains many messages which I believe in, but I wouldn't take it literally.
The people who do have my eternal respect and admiration, but I'll bet there aren't many of them.

firstly...there is only one race of humans...homo sapien...next...skin color is not a racial difference...like the extra fold of skin of chinese humans, it has recently been shown that it is lack of color (ie: white skin, blonde hair, blue eys) which is a mutation...Adam and Eve were probably black, with dark hair and brown eyes.
Dogs are a good example of how mutations result in different shapes and colous yet they are all still dogs...descendants of the same wolves way way back in history.

"Race" is illusionary. The superficial variations that look to look in human beings of diverse nationalities are the effect of geographic isolation and inbreeding. Mitochondrial DNA has shown that mutually as we would have began as a species from some male primates all of us proportion a straightforward woman ancestor. the variations of visual allure between human beings of diverse "races" has little or no to do with DNA. All **** sapians are certainly the comparable "below the floor". Evolution and organic decision are actuality. Dispute all you want, the evidence is in. human beings weren't "marked" by ability of God, it fairly is nonsense.
