If the entire population of this earth started with only 2 people, where did the different races come from?

Question

Adam and Eve (supposedly) started it all off for the population. If they were (let's just say) caucasian, where did the african americans come from, or the latinos, or asians, or the islamic? We all have different physical traits, other than skin color too.

Answer 1

All people have the same skin color. We all have the same coloring pigment in our skin called “melanin.” If we produce a little melanin, it means that our skin will be a very light brown (or “European white”) If our skin produces a great deal of melanin, we will be a very deep brown (“black” if you will).

If Adam and Eve were middle-brown, as is most likely, one can explain all the different shades of brown skin that we see in people today. Surprisingly, we find that an entire range of “colors,” from very “white” to very “black” can result in one generation, if beginning with this particular type of mid-brown parents.

Scientists have also shown through the study of mitochondrial DNA that all people today trace their ancestry to a single mother. Why should we be surprised that the Bible records such a woman, Eve, whose name means “to become the mother of all living!” Although evolutionists are at pains to point out that they are not saying that this “mitochondrial Eve” is the Eve of the Bible, they are forced to agree that, at the least, this evidence confirms that all the groups of people alive today are astonishingly closely related.

Answer 2

The earth started with an African pygmy woman. Most ppl will NEVER agree w/what I'm about to say, but the white race was genetically engineered from the African race. Many believe Gen to be a parable to the actual event of God creating man, although ppl were already on the earth.

Many ppl don't know that white skin is a form of albinism (which means white) which is a genetic mutation. Melanin is a key factor..caucasians are the only race not able to produce the skin colors of brown, red, and yellow. Their existence on earth dates back to about 6,000 yrs, coincidentally the same amount of years as the Bible.

No matter how long you put an African in a cold, dark climate, they will never become white, and no matter how long you put a white person in Africa, they will never turn black. Each might turn lighter or darker but never completely black or white.

Why do you think there has and is an ongoing racial war mainly b/w black and white ppl? Why do you think black ppl have gone through the most malicious forms of racism & slavery? It goes deeper than the color of our skin.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve were the first human beings to populate the earth, but the descendants of Adam and Eve, but for Noah and his three sons & their wives who were inside The Ark, were destroyed in the flood.

All of the people and races that populate the Earth today descend from Noah's three sons: Shem, Ham, & Japheth.

Shem is the father of the Jewish race.
Ham is the father of the Black race.
Japheth is the father of the Gentile race. The Gentile race are: English, Native American, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Russian, Mexican, Scottish, Danish, Arabs.

Until peoples from each race got together to build The Tower of Babel to Heaven, all peoples populating the earth spoke the same language, Hebrew. God forbid idol worship, so He changed all of the different peoples and their languages to confound them at the base of the Tower of Babel, & they could no longer understand each other and had to return to their homelands.

Answer 4

In order to understand this great, evil, mysterious abyss of hatred and bigotry into which millions of lives and hearts have been cast, it is necessary to start from the beginning.
God made the first man -- Adam -- from the dust of the earth. The name Adam actually means "red dirt" or "ruddy." It does Biblically appear that the hue of the first man was more that of the red man than any other. And as science is even now discovering, man was made out of clay.


Genesis 11:6-9:
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
After Babel, the Hebrew speaking people (languages used evolved from ancient languages and are used for example only) could not understand the Italian. The Italian could not understand the German, etc. They separated according to the language they understood and migrated to different geographical locations. This is the beginning of the nationalities as we know them. This, incorporating a concept known as genetic drift, is also the reason for so many peculiar genetic traits.
For example, it is the reason the Chinese have slanted eyes.
The group of people who began speaking Chinese at the Tower of Babel could only understand one another. They migrated to one geographical location with its particular climate, and generation after generation married among themselves, and their own particular gene pool. Their particular dominant genes emerged and were passed down from generation to generation. As a result you have a nationality trait of slanted eyes.
All the above information will play a part in why the black, red, yellow and white populations are the color they are. People say the bible is fake people say God's word is not true the bible was written before people figured things out and still figuring things out:

Newsweek, January 11, 1988, in an article concerning the biological DNA research of universities of Berkeley, Emory, Michigan, etc., recorded the following:
Skin color, for instance, is a minor adaptation to climate -- black in Africa for protection from the sun, white in Europe to absorb ultraviolet radiation that helps produce vitamin D. It takes only a few thousand years of evolution for skin color to change.
In the same article, Harvard paleontologist S. J. Gould says,
"It makes us realize that all human beings, despite differences in external appearance, are really members of a single entity that's had a very recent origin in one place. There is a kind of biological brotherhood that's much more profound than we ever realized."

Answer 5

If you believe that the tale approximately Noah's sons is logical, I'd need to marvel at your definition of the phrase logical. For something, wherein did the ones better halves of specific races come from if now not from races already in life. My notion is that the "Out of Africa" idea is the nice one. Some hundred thousand years in the past or so, humanity first started to transport out in their location of starting place, which the idea says is southern Africa. As the populace dispersed into chillier climates, their epidermis lightened. To give an explanation for the epicanthic folds of the oriental eyes as good as different oriental tendencies, it is fair to count on that tremendous households have been facet of the pilgrimage, and that individuals of the ones households had eyes that have been narrower with might be a bit of much less lid. That grew to be trendy as breeding prompted that to be a dominant gene, till it obtained to the factor of epicanthic folds. You see the identical type of factor in domesticated puppies and cats, and generally it does not take too many generations for tendencies to quite start to take maintain. Now, in Europe, the households who settled there have been might be a bit of lighter haired and with lighter eyes, and over the hundreds of years their hair, eyes and epidermis lightened much more due to the fact they'd no need for the darker pigmentation to defend them from the solar. Like I stated, it is like puppy breeds; you breed for precise fascinating tendencies, and that is what you get.

Answer 6

Two possible ways. It says in the bible that the Sons of God took human women as wives. Hence that's an additional gene pool.

There is always evolution, which does work to a degree. As people immigrate they might change with the climate or environment over thousands of years.

But, technically, to make a Gene pool you need a well rounded genetics pool.

That means one of the pair, Adam or Eve, had to be blondish and blue eyed, with the other darker, but not too dark, as black dominates.

Now if two darks mate they could make darker and darker as well as light

If two lights mate they can make lighter and lighter (up to Albino) as well as slighly darker.

And if you cluster in such combinations you make light populations or dark popluations.

So, a final possiblity is God made one of the two "fairer" than the other and that help the gene pool get going.

Answer 8

Good question.

Maybe Adam and Eve had in the genes the potentiality for biological adaptation that afterwards alowed the appearance of the different races.

Answer 9

Why assume that they were caucasian? They could have had a mixture of dominant and recessive traits for skin color (melanin production), which would have made them "medium brown".

Answer 10

I don't really buy into the Adam and Eve thing even though I am
Christian.

However, humans did start somewhere (generally believed to be Africa). They migrated slowly, and those populations evolved independently of each other.
