Who were the first black people?

Question

They have always said Adam and Eve..well presumably white..or.. well not african american..so who were the FIRST black people and how did they form or ...were created?

Answer 1

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descentded from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
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. Some 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, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people who have certain features (e.g.skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "withinrace" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 2

hey this gets even better because if the Adam and Eve thing is true, I am then currently shagging my brother because its all incest.that would be down right perverted.

so whats worse being black(great tan without skin cancer)or warship an extremely perverted
book?

Answer 3

Noah's son Cush was considered to be the father of the black race due to the fact that he settled in what is known as north Africa after the flood. His name Cush in Hebrew means "black".

Answer 4

Scientifically Adam and Eve were Ethiopians ,Too bad we are the poorest country now

1.Three fossilised skulls unearthed in Herto, Ethiopia are said by scientists to be among the most important discoveries ever made in the search for the origin of humans.
2. A genetic study has shown that the oldest known human DNA lineages are those of East Africans
3.Origins of man

Evidence from the fossil record suggests that modern man originated in Africa about 150,000 years ago, before moving steadily across the globe.

This Out of Africa hypothesis has been confirmed by studies of mitochondrial DNA, the segment of genetic material that is inherited exclusively from the mother.

Based on these studies, our most recent common ancestor is thought to be a woman who lived in Africa some 143,000 years ago, the so-called Mitochondrial Eve.

To find the common paternal ancestor, the team drew up a genetic family tree of mankind. They mapped small variations in the Y chromosomes of 1,062 men in 22 geographical areas, including Pakistan, India, Cambodia, Laos, Australia, New Guinea, America, Mali, Sudan, Ethiopia and Japan.

The new genetic family tree supports the Out of Africa scenario. But it suggests that our most recent paternal ancestor would have been about 84,000 years younger than our maternal one.
5Perhaps once upon a time, Adam and Eve saw this vision, Dawn over the great Rift Valley in Ethiopia. Adam and Eve were Africans, scientists say, and they probably lived in this part of the world, Ethiopia, in East Africa, and if we are all descended from Adam and Eve, that makes us all, all of us humans, African, all cousins.
5.the use of mitochondrial DNA, which shows that all human beings alive today descended from one African woman who lived in Africa about 150, 000 years ago ,This woman is the [most recent] common ancestor of all humans alive on Earth today with respect to matrilineal descent. This woman had all the capabilities that we have today. The documentary 'The Real Eve' which premiered on the Discovery channel several years ago explores how the descendants of 'Eve' spread out in waves from Africa.
8.Human fossils found 38 years ago in Africa are 65,000 years older than previously thought, a new study says—pushing the dawn of "modern" humans back 35,000 years.
9.After six years of analysis, fossil hunters in Africa have confirmed the discovery of the oldest fossilized remains of modern humans yet found -- portions of skulls belonging to people who lived 160,000 years ago. Paleontologists say the discovery adds detail to a crucial period in human evolution, and confirms the hypothesis that modern humans evolved in Africa. NPR's Christopher Joyce reports.

A team led by University of California, Berkeley paleontologist Tim White found the fossils in desert sands near the Ethiopian village of Herto.

Answer 5

that is interesting! black people were around during the biblical days back in the time of Queen of Sheba, King Solomon, they were a few people in high rankings...Jesus Christ was supposed to be white, but if you read it in the Bible, he had hair of lamb's, His skin tone was a bronze, so if that does not say he was black He either was bi-racial or He was black!

Answer 6

well, does it mater?
i have a white friend( both parents white) and her brother happens to be really dark. they look nothing alike. i mean, she;s very light with blond hair while her brother is very dark with black hair.
so what I'm saying is that some black people have white kids while some black people have dark kids.
black people are just black people with lighter skin.

Answer 7

actually we dont ave to fight over some stupid thing...we should all appreciate what we have and our skin colour,and one thing we should remember is that we are all gifts from The Lord God almighty and we are so precious before him.please cast aside racist and the past.because the past is gone and we must focus on the present day because the present is our gift from God...God bless all human race and all mankind...!

Answer 8

We ALL decended from black people. This entire planet consisted of one continent...where modern Africa is now. Surprise!!!

Answer 9

Here come some nonsense Christian answers...
to russian assasin: I think you are a real racist b*tch

Answer 10

it all started in Iraq - and they were black
