If Adam and Eve were the first people, where did Asian, Hispanic, and Black people come from?
I have heard arguments that Jesus was black. I am having a hard time with the fact that Adam and Eve's children had to be incestual to make all of us. Isn't that a bit trailer trashy?
@Noland, thanks for the backup :)
thanks everyone for the vast spectrum of answers, very insightful :)

as far as the Adam and Eve tale goes, it only gets funnier after that. directly form the bible itself, the next generation born from Eve and her son were.... more sons.
keep in mind that these are apparently the first people on earth, there can be no others because Adam and Eve have only had this many sons... but then the next generation of sons go to the neighboring village to have wives.
so, clarification: adam, eve and their incest-born children are the first and only humans in the world... except for the village of people nearby..... and the other few across the valley...who have memory of a time probably several years, decades even before Adam and Eve existed.
Plot-hole of doom, and the punchline is that the people hovering their mouse over the thumbs down button are busy telling themselves "the bible doesn't really say that", except that it does.
now, lets skip ahead a little. how can there be all these diverse races of people each with their own language, unique physical attributes, art, culture and histories?
well, if you'd rather read the bible than going into things like how environments and history and unique circumstances affect the change and growth of a family group and even towns, cities and countries, then you can read the bible, and it'll tell you:
150 years after Noah's flood, the human race now numbers in the billions (in 150 years, from 4 people. HAH! yeah, right.) and they are all as one united people. they work towards a project together, not as a country, but as an entire species to build a colossal tower to touch the heavens... and god whips their united butts, destroys the great city, kills billions and scatters the rest to the far corners of the earth and, as a bonus, screws up their tongues so they'll all speak in different languages so they can never become one people ever again.
*sarcasm* what a fair and nice king.
that's like you and your friends building a giant sculpture from Lego and your tool older step-brother running in, jumping into this thing you've invested time in, destroying it... THEN tying up your friends and putting them on planes to Italy, Mongolia, Brunei, Madagascar and Brazil.... because he can, and if you question him he'll beat the hell out of you.
these people worship the strangest entities.

It is very simple answer to this question! When Ham saw his father naked and mocked him...Noah and God placed a curse on Ham's offspring which ended up in Africa. They would be SLAVES and serve the offspring of the two other brothers. What we know about the curse, we know black people came from Ham. We know that black people are from western, central and eastern Africa (NOT NORTHERN AFRICA) has NEVER conquered and had ANY empire in the history of the world and was CONQUERED by the offspring of the Europeans and MIddle Eastern Nations. They WERE SLAVES throughout history and are to this day back in the homeland. So the question is, how would be able to know the offspring of Ham? Very EASY, when God placed the curse on Ham and his offspring, he ALSO changed the pigment of their skin so that EVERY person on earth would know that this was the CURSED people. Whenever there is a curse in the Bible it is considered, DARK, BLACK, etc...So he cursed their skin as being DARK so that everybody from the other races would know! Remember in Genesis, the earth was DARK and void and BLACKNESS covered the face of the deep! The earth was cursed and how did Moses describe it...? Black, Dark, etc...So the blackness of their skin is merely the sign of the curse. God has the ability to change DNA in the race of people and this is what happened! Of course there are going to Black come on here and attempt to disagree and make the bible their own PRIVATE interpretation but the Bible is truth and this is the story. Remember the curse on Cain after he slayed Abel? God marked Cain so that wherever he went throughout the earth, people would know this was Cain just by looking at him and the mark of the skin God gave him. God curses the skin so people know who the offspring and/or the person is, PERIOD! Black is a symbol of the curse. Sorry black boys and girls, but this is the TRUTH that some reason nobody wants to share with you because of our weak society, so somebody has to tell you what we all know to be TRUE!!! HEY JESUS WITH HIS HEAVENLY BODY IN HEAVEN IN REVELATION TELLS US HE IS WHITE!!! READ IT!!!

The excuse I've heard is that Adam and Eve were the first of the Hebrews and there were other people elsewhere, including in the land of Nod, where Cain married.
Then there is the other piece of nonsense that the genes were pure, so marrying your sister was OK. Genetic defects only appeared as "sin" took over. Magical thinking, of course.
What about Noah then. with his missus and three sons and their wives, you didn;t have to marry your sister or brother, you could have your aunt, uncle or cousin. Marginally better, I suppose.

Your question should include where did white people come from also..
You see Adam and Eve where the first, therefore they were the only race, in fact they were the human race..
Every nation on earth resulted from them, in fact Adam and Eve started it, then from Noah and his family came all the nations we see today..
We don't know what colour skin Adam and Eve had but, it would be closer to the truth to assume that they were black, because black skin can produce all colours of skin..

I guarantee you....if you read Genesis very closely, you will find that Mankind was made before Adam and Eve.
26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, 1 Cor. 11.7 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.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Mt. 19.4 · Mk. 10.6g and the morning were the sixth day.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Adam and Eve are created next.............
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Do a study of MICRO-evolution sometime.
The bible does not state how the rest of the world's population came to be. As such, nobody can state, with any certainty, how it is.
When somebody states something along the lines of incest when the bible does not say anything on the issue....they are only PROVING their vast immaturity and ignorance.
Let them be. They're only PROVING their stupidity.

Gen. 5:1, 2; 1:28: “In the day of God’s creating Adam he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them. After that he blessed them and called their name Man [or, Mankind] in the day of their being created.” “God blessed them and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth.’” (Thus all mankind are descendants of that first human pair, Adam and Eve.)
Acts 17:26: “[God] made out of one man [Adam] every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth.” (So, regardless of what races make up a nation, they all are offspring of Adam.)
Gen. 9:18, 19: “Noah’s sons who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth. . . . These three were Noah’s sons, and from these was all the earth’s population spread abroad.” (After God destroyed the ungodly world by means of a global flood in Noah’s day, the earth’s new population, including all the races known today, developed from the offspring of Noah’s three sons and their wives.)

We are talking about the power of God when he Adam and Eve.They were created with the ability to to produce children of all the different complexion. Whether you are black, white, chinese, spanish, indian, and the list goes on, each and everyone of us will trace our roots back to Adam. Long story short Adam is the father of us all.

They all came from Noah and his sons and after. After the tower of babel God gave all the languages, and after scattered all the people across the earth and divided the land.
