I was reading recently about racial reconcilliation. A geneticist said that Adam and Eve would have had to have been black because it is genetically impossible for whites to produce children of color but 2 blacks can produce lighter complections. Plus the fact that all the oldest know artifacts found all come from the area of Ethiopia. He also said that if you took groups of different races and tested there DNA you would find more similarities between different races than between people of the same race.

Well, I don't care, though it does feel odd to think about that because we've all been taught to see everyone as Caucasian. Anyone wonder what else we take for granted without a second thought? Hmm? No, of course not... you don't wonder...
Anyway, it's hypocritical for Christians to accept science on some matters but not others.

I think that it is a definite possibility. I would have to read on it more. I know that the human race began in that area and then migrated. interesting.
however I don't know about the Adam and Eve part. I don't think they existed. Unless you need a name for the people who evolved from there. It could be Bob and Ethel too.

His conclusions are correct, though some of his reasoning may be wrong. Black skin could have come from light ancestors via mutation. However, genetic evidence strongly suggests that all modern humans (homo sapiens) can trace their ancestry to Africa about 170,000 years ago. Light skin is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation to lower sunlight levels, enabling northern peoples to produce sufficient vitamin D3.

Amazingly, about a month ago I'd seen this National Geographic doeumentary about the relationship of ALL mankind. Yes, we are ALL genetically connected. I Googled it and have found the link for you if you are interested. I'm sure you can buy the video cassette somwhere. It blew my mind away !!! The link is :

also blacks have the oldest genitic code then whites do. blacks can be traced to be the oldest humanoid race. but the bible was written by the white race and there for everyone is white. makes you wonder about the truth of the bible doesn't?

I figure they're probably right, given the area where Adam and Eve probably lived. I think people also need to realize that Jesus was not a Caucasian as so many of our Western images depict him.
