what race do you think Adam was? And what had caused the diversity ethinic origins?

Question

In the time of Nimrod in scripture it explains the time of cunfusion of languages with the building of the tower of babel, this can explain the seperation of nations because of language barriers, but what about skin colour and facial features of Japanese and chinese etc, how has this diversity happened u think...is it purely enviromental?

Answer 1

He was not Hebrew he just had the ability to have any ethnic group and certain facial features came out in some of his children. I have seen familys where they have one red headed kid, one with dark hair and a blond. 3 girls as different is size and shape as could be.
Then you mix Eve in there she carried the other half of the gene pool. Between them they had an ethnic variety of children then those children had children and so on.
Adatation does play a big role in the ones who survived to bred. Say a whole bunch of people a group of people left and went to live in the middle of Africa. Close to the equator where the sun is hottest. Light skinned would develope skin cancer and die out. We have seem white tigers die out where orange ones survived. The people with the dark skinned thrived and reproduced until all the people had dark skin.
then another group left for the North and went up to danish country's where it is cold and damp and you have to spend a lot of time indoors. Dark skinned people have a hard time absorbing vitamin D. In a sunny climate they do fine, but they really don't do well in climates that get very little sun.
They fall victum to anemia and ashma from close inside contact. In Africa they spend more time outside.
So they died off and the white people thrived, and reproduced. A lot has to do with how they lived and their culture and what men found attractive. If a women was considered unattractive no man married her and she didn't reproduce.
Contary to popular opinion most black men do not find white women attractive especially the really pale ones.
We marry people who look like us. Or our family.
But light skinned men do find pale women attractive.
So there was a lot of things involved in the createing of races.
I believe Satan had a hand in it to. Because they say it is easier to fight and kill people who look different from us.
It is easier for a black man to kill a white man or vice versa.
that keeps the wars satan likes to see going.

Answer 2

Actually the entire range of the human genome can be contained in two human being. Secular scientist have shown that all people have a common background. Chances are that Adam and Eve had olive colored skin almost looking Mediteranean. On the contrary, different races do not prove Macro-evolution which is the big issue. No one disagrees that animals change on a small scale (micro-evolution). But at the end of time a horse will still be a horse and a human a human. The first humans had the same DNA we do, be they Adam and Eve or some guy in the rift valley.

Answer 3

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
But today we have many different groups, often called "races" with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Some see this as a reason to doubt the Bible's record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, this does not follow from the evidence.
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. Clearly, though, there are groups of people, who have certain features (e.g. skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "within race" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 4

He really could have been any race, seeing as God creates us all the same (in his image) and there is no difference just because of "our" skin "color". But I would assume he was Hebrew or something like that.
It may be environmental, or God just has many different faces.
See, that's what i don't get about non-believers. Where do they think people's faces came from, or where did MONKEYS come from, if they were "first"?? Its soo ridiculous. Hello, my mums a baboon. Thats crazy!!!
In the Holy Bible there are all the answers. The Lord is My Sheppard,
Jesus Loves me
And
The Lord Is My Savior.

Answer 5

In Hebrew, Adam can be interpreted as both man and red. In some rabinical literature, Adam is believed to have had red skin. Likewise, there are some Native Americans who believe the first man and the first woman were created in the Black Hills of North Dakota.

Answer 6

"what race do you think Adam was?"
Human. There aren't any other races.

"what had caused the diversity ethinic origins?"
Differences in the amount of melanin produced in the skin, if you're talking about skin color.

"what about skin colour and facial features of Japanese and chinese"
The yellowish tinge and the almond-shape eyes are produced by a fat layer that is a little thicker.

"how has this diversity happened u think...is it purely enviromental?"
Environment played a part in terms of natural selection, i.e., people whose skin produced a lot of melanin tended to adapt better in warmer climes, while people whose skin produced little melanin tended to adapt better in colder climes.

Answer 7

Environmental issues with the human form over millions of years caused the diversity we see today...

Answer 8

I think Adam should have been what ever color his region made him, be it white, black or ??? while the change of color of our skin was environmental and genetic. Over time our color changes due to environment and genetics. Those of us with white skin would take several generations in the sun to darken our skin's pigmentation since our bodies are made to protect us.

Answer 9

Adam worshipped only One God who was His creator. Than later came idols and trinities and so on which made divisions after divisions. Believing again the true One God Almighty of Adam will unite us again.

Answer 10

I think you're barking up the wrong tree if you think the tower of babel story can "explain" the separation of nations.
