was Adam and Eve black or white?

Answer 1

You should check out a book called Dominion, by Randy Alcorn. It is a fiction book, but Alcorn did some tremendous research on this particular topic in one chapter of the book.

He says Adam and Eve had to be black/dark because that is the only way you could get the skin variations we have today.

Two white people can only produce white offspring, whereas two dark/black people can produce a mixture of skin tones, ranging from black to white and everything inbetween.

Answer 2

Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was between the Tigris and Euphrates river. The Tigris and Euphrates river are in Iraq. Thus, they were middle eastern(Iraqi)

Answer 3

Yeah, it's not mentioned. But they at least carried the gene that makes one black, or a darker skin color. It's possible for a white couple to have a black son/daughter, or vise versa. If they both carry the gene. Even some twins have been born with one black, and one white. Kinda interesting.

Answer 4

if you believe in a literal view (that they were actually people who existed) there's no way of telling. they could have been black, or sandy brown (given where the cradle of civilization began) or they could have been white (albinos). If you take it as a myth, noting that G-d purposely didn't give eden a geographic area when telling the story to therefore make it a myth suitable for all mankind, then they were simply human.

Answer 5

They probably would have been in the middle, because from them both white and black people (as well as every other race) came.

Answer 6

The Book that claims they were real does not say. Anything that we infer is strictly up to our imagination. We cannot state where the Garden of Eden was, so there is no way to guess what color its inhabitants would have been.

What do you believe?

Answer 7

There was no Adam & Eve they are simply a myth, there is absolutly not one ounce of evidence that they ever existed, other than a mythicle story.

Answer 8

According to genetics Adam my have very well been black. We're going to find out any day now.

Answer 9

The Bible does not detail their skin color, but based on the region they are said to have inhabited, it would make the most sense for them to have been darker like the current Arabic peoples.

Answer 10

They were probably the perfect color. I would say that if you took all the humans that are here now and mixed them together in a color bowl, the color you came up with would be what they were.
