Adam was the first man of the line that would be later called the Israelites, not the very first man. Read Gen 1 and Gen 2 very closely. God created all the peoples of the Earth first and then he created the first farmer or Adam then later his wife. There is a 6th day creation of man and there is and 8th day creation of man. The 8th day creation or Adam and Eve were the first farmers i.e tillers of the ground, and God hadn't created them yet, neither had it rained upon the Earth yet.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
This is the 6th day creation of all the peoples and races of the Earth.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Gen 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
This is the 8th day Creation of Adam
It has nothing to do with evolution
One has to remember that the Bible is the history of a people and how it relates to the rest of the world, the Israelites, so it would obviously begin with the first man in their blood line and continue on from there.

Most Christians do not deny micro-evolution (small changes occur, but they do not go so far to change into another species. The offspring of a human will always be human.)
Also, if Adam and Eve were created with both dominant and recessive genes, then various races could form from two parents.
Some children would get dominant genes from both parents that determine certain traits (skin color, etc.). Other children would get recessive genes from both parents. Most would get a mixture of dominant and recessive genes, in various ratios.
If people that looked alike began to group together and migrate to other areas, it would not be long before various races would begin to develop, but they would all have the same common ancestors (Adam and Eve), and they would all be equally HUMAN!
For a detailed discussion, please see the article at the link below. (The author of that article holds a PhD in biology from Texas A & M University.)

different races does not prove evolution adam and eve we do not know what race they were but the races i feel come from the tower of babel when god confused their language and they went off their seperate ways i believe that is when the world was split in races you have to understand whatever happen for life to happen it was a miracle which is harder to believe a loving god made you perfect in a world without one thing out of place or things just exploded and life began crawling out of the ocean one day I think we in this generation are thinking were to smart and looking for answers to something we have had the answer to for a long time we should all dust off our bibles and remeber we will all be alive 200 years from now lets hope were with god

'assuming that ADAM was the FIRST BIOLOGICAL FATHER of ALL MANKIND?'
That's the major error here and which has nothing at all to do with the beginning of life and the evolution of same.

people who differentiate between micro and macro evolution are about as close to brainless as they get. i'm sorry but they're the same thing. basically what they're saying is it's possible for little steps to happen, but the idea of a large change happening by a series of small steps is beyond their comprehension. micro and macro evolution are terms started by creationists. it's all evolution. deal with it.

i think in the two. i don't think of the earth is flat!!! i'm an AP student; i be attentive to extra advantageous. i don't think of earth is the middle of the universe around which all different issues rotate. i don't think that the earth is basically some thousand years previous. Now on your 2d question; particular, people who confuse conception with certainty each so often do scare me yet I in simple terms hear to them.

because adam was the first he had no dominant or recessive genes...simple. people could be any color or size. and over a couple thousand years there is micro evolution where people change to cope with their environment. africa: black skin
