Adam and Eve is just a story based off some older myths. Even if you took them as true, which is silly, it doesn't say what race Adam and Eve are.

Why do people have to be so cranky or sarcastic? This is not even a religious question. We are NOT debating the existence of God here, people!
If you don't believe in the bible or adam and eve then just don't answer. The question is not whether the story of adam and eve is true, just a simple legitimate question which if you don't like it - just DON'T ANSWER IT!!
Anyway - the simply answer the question..... Adam and Eve were NOT white. "Adam" is actually a derivative of "Edam" which means RED. Because he was made out of the earth - it is likely that he was of reddish skin. But as God made them with the capabily of procration they have within their genes the ability to produce all kinds of offspring. Also, according to the bible, after the tower of Babel, people spread throughout the earth, and the ones that speak the same language would naturally moved away together. Their genetics pool would then produce the type of race we have today.

It does not. Christians have oftentimes portrayed Adam and Eve as white through fact traditionally, Christianity has been predominantly ecu. And the assumption of Blacks being the unique race is an evolutionary concept. Adam and Eve's visual attraction would have been black, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it replaced into in all probability a greater independent brown colour, not somewhat "African" black.

Where do you get the idea they were white?
One of the meanings of Adam is red man, and since Even was his female clone, she was likely the same.
Think of them as the top of a hill during a heavy rain. The were strong, long living, and very intelligent. From there it is all down hill to what we see as humans today. We are the de-evolved result with European and African descendants as the bottom of the hill. We are the junk washed off the hill by the rain.

Why do you assume they were white???
Lets say they werte the ONLY progenitors of the race - have you not ever looked into the idea of the fertile cresent - which even bible scholars accept - where civilizations supposedly started, and then people migrated and adapted to their environments from there.
However, Adam and Eve were NOT the only people god created, they were his chosen special ones, but the bible does talk about other peoples.

Supposedly Noah's three sons are the fathers of all the nations after the flood.
[ 32 These are the clans of Noah's sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.]
(Genesis 10:32)
[1 This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.] (Genesis 10:1)
Accordingly there are only three original races of people and all others are sub-races or cross-breeds. Caucasian, Black (Dark) and Mongoloid or yellow.
Ham in Hebrew is burnt or hot so he is said to have fathered the ******* (dark races); Japheth is said to be the father of the Mongoloid; and Shem is the father of the Caucasian.
I'm not 200% certain but I think this is how it written from a biblical standpoint.

Adam and Eve were not white. Geologically, they were non caucasians and so was Jesus. Actually read the bible and study the facts before you make comments man. The sun determines what color your skin is. Evolution. Melonin is the chemical in skin that determines the color of it. It also acts as a natural sun block. Lack of melonin results in white or light skin, abundance results in darker skin and more tolerence to the sun. The people who were historically exiled to the caucus mountains weren't exposed to vast amounts of direct sunlight over hundreds of years and subsequently stopped producing melonin over time. Making them white. Wether you believe in creation or evolution, life started in an area where the people definately were not caucasions. People of color came first either way you cut it.

If you believe in the whole Adam and Eve story....what brings you to the conclusion that they where white? The races are all different species of the HUMAN race.....just like dogs and cats are here in different shapes, sizes and colors...but they are all dogs and cats....same applies to people. It's all about the science of genetics, which I find much more logical than Adam and Eve.

Seems somebody doesn't know as much as he thinks he does. I am not Christian, and even I know that the Garden of Eden was supposed to be between the Tigris & the Euphrates. That puts it squarely in present day Iraq! Yup! Sorry to shatter your misconception, Adam, Eve (if they existed) and Jesus were brown.

There is no data in existance to suggest that Adam and Eve were white. That is just all artistic and racist spin.
Genes of dark color are dominant, "light" genes are recessive. It is entierly possible that Adam and Eve were people of color. Who knows which one?
The differences in genetic cultural looks can be explained easily: isolation, mutation/sport, and inbreeding (without being incest--that isn't necessary).
