I supposed they would have been, since I've seen a black couple have a very light-skinned child (looked white). But I've never seen or heard of a white couple having a very dark child.

Two of the four rivers that flowed through the Garden of Eden were the Tigris and the Euphrates. These two rivers meet in what is now Iraq. Back in the Biblical days it was known as Babylonia. The names of the other two rivers (in case you are curious) are Pishon and Gihon. (Genesis 2:10 - 14) Since Adam and Eve were the very first people, you really can't assign a nationality to them, because, they were there before any place was even named. but if you want to get technical, I guess they were the very first . . .Earthlings! =)
BTW, The reason you would see a black couple with a light colored child would probably have something to do either with genetics or lack of a certain pigment in the childs skin. Answer enough questions for you? =]

The Garden of Eden was in the area that is near Iraq. Between the Euphrates and Tigres Rivers. Read the scripture. It tells you that. Therefore, they were neither black nor white. They were from the area now known as the middle east.
Nonsense like this question are what gets everything screwed up. You put that information out like you knew what you were talking about and you didn't really know anything at all.

The African tribes descended from Noah's son Ham. In the Garden of Eden , 4 rivers are mentioned and one of them is the Euphrates which is modern day iraq, so they were probablky in the middle east or mesopotamia.

Adam and Eve were not African! They were middleeastern because the garden of Eden was where Iraq is now.

Nobody knows what they were exactally, over time people move and migrate and adapt to new conditions. The bible speaks of one of the rivers in the Garden of Eden as being the Euphrates, which would put them in the middle east, although that doesn't necessarily mean that they were middle eastern as we know them today.

The genetic code for humans can be traced back to africa- there are many studies where they follow markers- and you can tell exactly where that marker travelled due to mutations. In Africa, you also have the most diverse humans, genetically speaking.

There is no evidence they were African. Some say Garden of Eden was in Iran, some say Africa... but there is one thing that I found out... and that is that Adam and Eve are burried in Syria, which is close to Iran... so I don't know...

No. Africa didn't exist then. They originate from what is now called Africa. The climate was much different then as well. Its unfortunate that Racists attitudes prevail within the hearts of those claiming to know and love Christ.

If you are referring to the Biblical Adam & Eve then the answer would be no... they were fictional.
