. There's a huge difference between biblical and genetic Adam and Eve. The genetic is the ones that everyone descended from, but not necessarily the ones that everyone started from. The genetic could be the only one that stayed alive. Many people might have gotten confused by your statement.

Great thread thanks 👍
My best friend is a Christian minister (I'm agnostic) and i literally asked him just today (we're both in Africa as I write) "Soooooo if we all descend from Africa, how comes Adam and Eve are white?"
He said "They weren't, that's just what Christians said"
I was like "wtf?? Who are you???" 😐
Biblical Adam and Eve is whatever you imagine them to be.
Genetic Adam and Eve were most likely black.
BTW an interesting aspect to this whole garden of Eden thing, it seemed to stretch from Mesopotamia to the white and Blue Nile as per Biblical lore.
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

This has to be the weirdest interpretation of Y-DNA I have seen...if you have your autosomal DNA also done I suggest uploading it to gedmatch and using some of their calculators. You will get a much more complete idea that way.

Well Biblical Eve is simply the Bible story, when I said "Genetic" eve , then that's a more science based approach, and when I said modern "Us" I mean ppl who looked and act like us Homo sapien sapien, off course there are lines that goes back before modern us, some living in the same space as us, but not us.

You know, even though there's a difference between biblical and genetic eve ...... Genetic eve will still be descendant of biblical eve.
An example if Adam had five sons, and after twenty thousand years every male line had died but a single man, then he could be considered biblical Adam. That's because every current line descends from him, even though he wasn't the first, he still is genetic Adam. It would be neat to find biblical and genetic eve and Adam, and be able to track both of their lineages.

Hey TreeDeuces, brah I don't think we can reconcile the two views like that, we are talking hundreds of thousands of yrs not just thousands, the dates alone would violate religious beliefs as we know it, and hard science?? ain't having that conversation.

Humanity was generally one race, all "blond hair and blue eyes", then
This is demonstrably false.
