What race were Adam and Eve?

Answer 1

Part English - Part Welsh, mixed-race. Steve was Senegalese, West Africa.

Answer 2

They would be called "the adamic" race.

Not all Caucasians are from the adamic race.

Theo above describes this well.

The bible is the lineage of Christ. His is the last lineage described and the reason and documentation for lineage in the bible.

But may other people can trace their roots back to one of the people that came through Adam and Eve in a general way but not specifically.

Their descendants were profuse.

As prehistory and history is better "found" this will become clearer.

Isn't it funny how the bible proves correct over and over as things are "found"?

Answer 3

I would say that Adam and Eve didn't belong to any race for the sake of their story as the first of humanity.

If they did have a race they would probably be from Africa, where the first homo sapien came from. OR they would be a people from the Mesopotamian region near where the Jews lived, as Adam and Eve come from their scripture.

But to the story itself and its meaning for us, race doesn't matter at all, so I would think of Adam and Eve simply as human beings. :)

Answer 4

If you take Genesis literally and assume that Adam and Eve were the only two humans created, I would guess they were moderately dark skinned, since they would have to have the genetics to pass on to create all the other races. So they'd be a combination of pretty much everything.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

According to bible text (in the first chapters of Genesis) and also scientific research It is safe to assume that they were born in between Carchemish and The Ararat mountains (Turkey/Iraq/Iran area). Which is where the garden of eden most likely was. Sadly, though since they were the first humans born and we presently have more than 235 lands and many more nationalities we cannot say for sure what race they were. However they were either of the darker races or very tanned. and had fair features and soft hair (dark skin but not nappy hair). If you would like some more info about religion and or would like a full scriptural break down of the scriptures please email me.

Answer 7

I never cared. It never matter to me what race they were. To add to that, who could know? There's nothing to indicate Biblically what color they were. They might have been Amerindians for all we know. I think that there is more evidence for that Biblically than anything else. Because the word for the clay used in Hebrew had a certain connotation of 'red' involved. It was apparently red clay.

Now some might propose that the red meant that it was a representation of blood, some would say that it was a messianic type of the blood shed by Jesus, but in the study of those things I have not come up with any reason why I should believe either of those things.

Answer 8

In the Hebrew it is "eth-ha-adham", which refers to the particular person "Adam".

Genesis 2:8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.

In this "Eden" which God had formed, He put "eth-ha adham" [not any man, but "the Adam"].

This is the man "Adam" formed from clay in Genesis 2:7, and not the "male and female" of the races of the sixth day creation of Genesis 1:27-28..

On the sixth day GOD made the races of people, Ethnos, or ethnic peoples "Adam".

On the eight day GOD made "eth-ha-adham" 'The Adam " which is the white race. To blush in the face.

Answer 9

The human race, at a guess. The different races only appeared after the abortive attempt at building the tower of babel.

Answer 10

The human race.

WHAT is also marvelous is the fact that the foundation of God's new world is being formed right now, even as Satan's old world degenerates. Before our very eyes, God is collecting people from all nations and forming them into the foundation of a new earthly society that will soon replace today's disunited world. In the Bible, at 2 Peter 3:13, this new society is called "a new earth."

Bible prophecy also says: "In the final part of the days [the time in which we now live] . . . , many peoples will certainly go and say: 'Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah [his true worship], . . . and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.'"—Isaiah 2:2-3.
