The only clue we have as to the location of the Garden of Eden is (Genesis 2:10-14)
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison...And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. --
Thus, Eden holds the headwaters of four major rivers and should be fairly easy to identify. The Tigris and Euphrates are well known, but identifying the rivers of Pison and Gihon has puzzled researchers for years. There is no consensus on the geographical basis for the Garden of Eden, but several sites have been suggested. Archaeologist David Rohl claims to have located the site in a "lush valley beneath an extinct volcano in what is now modern day Iraq.
The reason that we see images of Adam and Eve as Caucasian is that was the race of the artists. And they were representing them as they saw themselves.
Considering the location of the origin of Adam and Eve they were most likely a medium dark skinned people. If they are represented correctly in the Bible as being the first two people then of course there was no such thing as ethnicity in that time. racially they were probably much like the native populations of what we call the current middle eastern countries.
I don't for a minute believe that God would have placed a white skinned person in that location, nude and unprotected against the harsh sun of those cilmes.

i'm guessing that they regarded plenty like the Jews and Arabs do as we communicate. in spite of the undeniable fact that, their bodies contained each and every of the dna opportunities that could account for all of the variety of colorations and shapes that we see as we communicate. It replaced into no longer many generations between Adam and Noah, yet some differentiation began to ensue, so as that Noah's sons each and every had the skill to have babies who regarded diverse from their cousins. while they each and every headed off in a various course after the Flood, it form of remoted each and every group, so as that there replaced into no longer plenty genetic blend. as a result, some grew to become lighter, some grew to become darker, and a few had a various formed eyes than the others had. the skill for distinction replaced into continually there, yet by using keeping apart, it allowed variations to grow to be "the norm" for each group. it is possibly that the ecosystem did have some thing to do with it, because of the fact those with paler epidermis could soak up greater sunlight, so as that they had better survival skill in a less warm climate. those with a darker epidermis seem to have had an more desirable survival skill in the warmer climates. i'm uncertain what the survival skill had to do with it in people who migrated eastward all a thank you to the Pacific Ocean. Or why most of the Australian aborigines had blond loosely curled hair and gentle-weight eyes until now white people ever have been given to Australia, jointly as others had very darkish epidermis and tightly curled black hair. this is basically the traditional version God geared up into the human genome.

There are no pictures of them. Those are paintings, and as such reflect the ideas of the artist.
There was no Adam and Eve, so they couldn't have been a member of any ethnic group.
