if adam and eve were real then where did all the other races in the world come from?

Question

im sorry if this offends anyone but i always wanted to ask this.

i know everyone is human but how did people become chinese,indian,black, and everything else if adam and eve were a certain race then shouldnt we all be that certain race?

Answer 1

evolu...HEY, is this a trick???

Answer 2

The same way that science teaches it happened. Has different groups spread across the world, their gene pools became limited, and so the members of the group became more and more alike, but different from other isolated groups.

If you read Genesis chapter 10 you will see a listing of the sons, grandsons, etc of Noah and what direction each of the different groups when. From those you get each of the races and other ethnic groups known today.

Evolutionist currently teaching that all races came from a single female by that same process. They call that first female "Lucy", rather than "Eve", and are trying to trace back the groups using DNA rather then scripture. Evidently, they will get to what the Bible already reveals. Both science and Christianity teach that all humans and races come from a single human couple.

Answer 3

It is believed, based on Scripture, that the races arose after the Tower of Babel incident, a few hundred years after the Flood. God changed the languages, so we know those arose at that time. Another evidence is that after the Flood, the 7th layer of water or ice of the atmosphere that existed before the Flood came down (which was part of the water that caused the Flood); afterward, when this protective layer was gone, the damaging rays of the Sun could now penetrate and cause genetic mutations that might change skin color and other traits. Another possibility is that, out of the 8 people on the Ark, one or two of them may have had darker skin color than the others, and these traits were passed down.

Answer 4

I wondered about this for many years until it all came together. Adam and Eve were genetically perfect and incapable of having inbreeds. This genetic perfection and long life span allowed them to have many, many children with good genetics that would allow them to commit (frankly) what we call incest. The world was to be populated and God made the call, beginning with his own perfection. Now, by the time the book of Leviticus was written, he called a halt to it and forbade incest and licentiousness of all types because women had been mating with fallen angels and the DNA structure became tainted. As to the races, at one time we all spoke the same language. The whole bunch decided to build a tower to Heaven. This angered God so he separated people. This can be evidenced by how the continents have shifted over time. They used to be really close together but not now. Oceans separate us. As to races, it's simple. Some people were dispersed to where it was hot and sunny (Africa) and over time their skin darkened. Those that went North where the sun didn't shine as much were white. It was a matter of the elements as to color and living conditions. We adapt climatically and God knew we would. Where the wind blows and people must farm alot (Japan, China) the eyes changed for protection from those winds that could land them blind or with a horrid eye infection. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

Gee, all that time spent in biology.........snoozing. It's welll known that climate has a strong bearing on skin color. Hot countries like Africa would burn a white person to a crisp in no time. So God provided more melanin in the skin for our black brothers and sisters. The melanin blocks much of the harmful rays of the sun. Similarly for the hispanics, where the exposure is not as great, but more than the Nordics, who get the least sun exposure, thus less melanin (or color in the skin). So you see there really is no logical reason to discriminate based on skin color. It's just a matter of climate. Check it out. By the way, the indigenous population of America, the Native Americans were dark skinned. All us lighter skinned races moved here much later.

Answer 6

The biblical answer is that all the races are descended from Adam and Eve. However, the Genesis description of creation is just a myth.

The evolutionary answer is that all the races are descended from the first humans that evolved in east Africa, and spread from there. The first humans were very likely black. Skin color and other racial characteristics are superficial changes which appeared fairly recently in human evolution.

Answer 7

I was taught that Adam and Eve had aspects of all the races in them. So they were multi-racial. Their children had multi-racial aspects. But when the Tower of Babel happened (when God made the people speak different languages and not understand one another) people split up. They went and settled different areas and the races started from there. Because the people who went to one area mated with those people and the bloodline became less varied.

Answer 8

Actually, we would need to base this question on the race of Noah and his family, not Adam and Eve. Don't forget, God supposedly wiped out ALL life with the exception of Noah and his family.

Answer 9

well a lot of people's theory is that adam and eve were black because it's the only dna found in everyone, that's what i heard.

and then when the tower of babel happened and everyone started moving together, then the plates moved and the earth drifted into different continents. and then people started changing because of the climate and crap.

Answer 10

Recessive genes.

------------------------
Mitochondrial Eve (mt-mrca) is the name given by researchers to the woman who is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for all living humans. Passed down from mothers to offspring for over a hundred thousand years, her mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is now found in all living humans: every mtDNA in every living person is derived from hers. Mitochondrial Eve is the female counterpart of the Y-chromosomal Adam, the patrilineal most recent common ancestor.

She is believed to have lived about 140,000 years ago in what is now Ethiopia, Kenya or Tanzania. The time she lived is calculated based on the molecular clock technique of correlating elapsed time with observed genetic drift.

Mitochondrial Eve is the most recent common ancestor of all humans via the mitochondrial DNA pathway, not the unqualified MRCA of all humanity. All living humans can trace their ancestry back to the MRCA via at least one of their parents, but Mitochondrial Eve can only be reached via the maternal line. Therefore, she necessarily lived much longer ago than the MRCA of all humanity....

Answer 11

There is no difference, genetically, between any of the races, on a DNA level.
All are human.

Just so you know, Noah's sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth, were the ancestors of all mankind after the flood. But Noah himself was a descendant from Adam and Eve.
