If all humanity today descended from Adam and Eve, what race does Adam and Eve belong to?

As the Garden of Eden is considered to have been in where modern-day Iraq is, Adam and Eve would have looked Middle Eastern almost with certainty. Even up to the generation of the Tower of Babel, all humans would have still looked like they came from the Middle East. They would probably have looked similar to what modern Iraqis look like now, but maybe with differences.

I hope this answer helps you!

The truth is genesis is much more ancient in origin than the christians make out. It is a factual thesis on how everything came into being and originates from the ancient Ur, Sommerland civilisation.

The symbology in the bible is so mistranstated as to be untrue, mainly because they are trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. lol

Let's look at the base symbology again with better eyes.

Garden of eden - the primordial jungle.

Learning the knowledge of good and bad - man became sentient, self aware.

Tree's - geneology, family and family roots. - evolution

Orchard - other geneologies and thier families.

Apple - the fruit there of.

Snake - external energy.

In other words man evolved by cross breeding with a similar species and bred themselves into self awareness. Hence all the anti-sex thing going one with religious folk. It is nothing but a mistranslation of the original symbology. It was a sin because we were created as already perfect and gaining a higher consienceness caused us new problems such as worry. Death became an issue because before that moment in time death would not have entered our heads. Womens birthing would become more troublesome because it is the most vulverable moment in thier lives, women die. It is worrying.

The vast majority of Christians do not interpret this story as literal. Even the Catholic church has officially called Genesis a metaphor and supports evolution. There are only a handful of idiots that actually think Genesis is a matter of fact. And from an evolution standpoint, we did all evolve from a single race from Africa.

Why should Adam and Eve get the credit? There are some 16 major religions and 270 minor ones. Most have creation narratives that don't agree with each other, much less Adam and Eve.

By "race" one normally looks to skin color to define it.

"In their analysis of human evolutionary history, Jablonski and Chaplin concluded that modern humans most likely evolved in the tropics, where they were exposed to high UV levels. But as they moved into regions away from the equator, where UV levels are lower, humans became fairer so as to allow enough UV radiation to penetrate their skin and produce vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," also obtained from eating fish and marine mammals. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy blood levels of calcium and phosphorous, and thus promoting bone growth.

Skin color, according to Jablonski and Chaplin, basically becomes a balancing act between the evolutionary demands of photo-protection and the need to create vitamin D in the skin.

One of the important implications of Jablonski and Chaplin's work is that it underlines the concept of race as purely a social construct, with no scientific grounds. DNA research has shown that genetically all humans, regardless of skin color and other surface distinctions, are basically the same. In an April 2001 article titled, "The Genetic Archaeology of Race," published in the Atlantic Monthly, Steve Olson writes "the genetic variants affecting skin color and facial features are essentially meaningless —they probably involve a few hundred of the billions of nucleotides in a person's DNA. Yet societies have built elaborate systems of privilege and control on these insignificant genetic differences."

In fact, we humans started out in Africa, and we were all black.

When people of similar genetic make-up have offspring (incest I mean), then mutations are more likely to occur. You could say that the original mutations from Adam and Eve could cause different skin colours and racial features.

Though anyone with half a brain or more, could tell you that we did not descend from 2 people.

My dear friend,

we do not come from Adam and Eve, to begin with. Human development has to be multifocal. Each culture promotes its people as anchesters so, Adam and Eve should be Simite.

The human race.

Race is a cultural concept, has nothing to do with species and subspecies. There is at present only one species of human.

You are so funny... Have you been to school yet? Please tell me you're joking... We did not come from Adam and Eve, in-fact there is no Adam and Eve but there is evolution and fossil records that would support this theory more than any other out there.To make the long story short we all come from Africa and you are a result of an evolutionary process.

They were prolly middle eastern, but we were put into different races and spoke different languages only after the tower of babel incident...remember? they tried to build a tower to heaven so god punished them by splitting us up.

Just don't worry about it, Adam and Eve are just characters in a myth.
