We all assume Adam & Eve were white because of how artists represented them in paintings. And there is NO proof that Adam & Eve were the first humans on earth. The story of Adam & Eve is a wonderful tale, but it is not scientifically proven fact. The first humans on earth were from Africa, the fossil record proves that. As does DNA tracing.

When Adam and Eve's son, Cain ,was cast out to The land of Nod(the land of Night) he was turned and started a race of Nodites. (People of the night). But actually, Adam and Ever weren't really white, that is an artist's conception. If you look at the Egyptians and other races of that area, they have darker toned skin. Bible scholars and higher ups changed the perception of Jesus and Adam/Eve to conform with the White Race as being the superior one.

You are assuming that Adam & Eve were white, which has never been proven. I have often wondered how this came about as well. Don't really have an answer. Another question could be how did all the different races, and their particular physical characteristics, come from a single set of ancestors (Adam & Eve)?
Good Luck figuring this one out. If you do please let us know!

According to the Bible, all humans on earth today are descended from Noah and his wife, his three sons and their wives, and before that from Adam and Eve (Genesis 1-11). But today we have many different groups, often called ‘races,’ with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Many see this as a reason to doubt the Bible’s record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, as we shall see, this does not follow from the biological evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah’s family had one language and by living in one place were disobeying God’s command to ‘fill the earth’ (Genesis 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups which scattered over the earth (Genesis 11:8-9). Modern genetics show how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. There is good evidence that the various people groups we have today have not been separated for huge periods of time.

Are you serious? Are you really asking this question? I want you to find a book on genetics, and somewhere in the first few chapters it's going to explain mutations and how they occur. After that I want you to take a class in anthropology. And if you can stop thumping your bible long enough to have an original thought, you just might (emphasis on might) figure it out. Clues - 1. Adam & Eve-religious fiction. 2. Like so many people have already pointed out to you, even the fiction never says what race they were. 3. Albinos- Two black people can have a white, blond, blued eyed child (refer to the mutations in your genetics book). That can't happen in reverse.

Most of the above comments regarding the Bible are incorrect and reflect a passing familiarity that borders on ignorance.
As for where do Black people come from, the same place as White people. Black people are not a different species. They're humans like everyone else.
You might want to go to a library and read up on the subject, however, if you'd ask the question in such a confrontational manner in the first place, I doubt you'd be concerned with any kind of truth at all.

The Bible may say that Adam and Eve were the first beings, but I think the Bible references that as being the first beings who would bring the idea of this God, and eventually son into this world. I would assume that there would be other human life forms around the planet, they just weren't documented at that time.

All the genetic evidence available points to the cradle of civilization being in Africa, so it's much more likely that we are all descendents of black people. White skin may have originated from an albino condition in a distant ancestor, or may have been a product of prolonged isolation during the ice ages.
All the archeological and anthropological evidence available shows that humans or humanoids lived in Africa for millions of years before moving outwards across the planet.

who knows? and how do you know that Adam and Eve were white. Did it say that some where in the Bible or is it just what everyone has thought BECAUSE there was no race of Adam and Eve put in the Bible? think about that because I know when I was reading the whole Adam and Eve part in the Bible it didn't say that they were white

Humans are different colors because of the different regions they live in! In hotter climates, people are darker to protect their skin, colder climates- lighter, and so on and so forth! Different tones get mixed and matched throughout time. I don't know if Adam and Eve were white or not....makes no difference to me! I'll guess I'll find all that out when i get to heaven!
