If, as some human genome studies seem to indicate that the first man was indeed a black man, and if you believe the Genesis story of creation, then wouldn't it hold that the first woman, was probably white? I've been thinking about this ever since we had that thread about genetic studies. In Genesis it says that man "Adam" was formed from the clay of the earth (this very well could have been dark in color) and woman "Eve" was made from man's rib (well now as far as I know bone is Ivory or white in color)! So maybe we are all just going back to the way it was meant to be "in the beginning"!! I like my theoy, what do you all think?
You didn't say if you like the theory though. I think I'll start believing it. Especially if I can find another scripture or 2 to back it up.
yes, i've thought about this concept. i still don't understand why asians have their distinct eye features.
If you understand the breading of animals you can see why I can accept the following theory. My theory, again based on the Bible, is that at the tower of Babble when God confused the languages, people took their respective families to different areas and there began to be a massive in-breading of the families so that they could still communicate. This cut back on peoples life span of 900 years and it also accentuated certain features in each family, so that whatever was dominating in that family became a dominating feature in the "new" bread or race.
Mitochondrial (sp) DNA has been traced back to African. Our most recent common mother, Mitochondrial Eve, was Sub-Saharan African. She lived at a different time then the YDNA Adam. They were both black and African though. What we think of as white, or Caucasian, didnt come about until much later and they have the smallest gene pool. If memory serves it was less than 200. Basicly, a very small group left Africa and settled in Europe where their interbreeding allowed recessive genes to produce what we now think of as white. Original man and woman were black. We are all black, just some of us are further removed from our ancestrial DNA than others.
I am familiar with this study also, this is where the DNA bottlenecked and then spread out again. IMO, this traces our DNA to Noah, and his wife and their kids. (He had 3 sons and their wives with them in the Ark) So there was a much smaller gene pool there, but even this was before the tower of Babel so could have contained all the DNA of the different races before the "in breading" began to be such an issue although this is a point where that "in breading" started somewhat. According to the Dead Sea Scrolls there is a passage that says Noah was a redhead. So if this all checked out maybe he was white guy married to a black lady. Just another thought!:yawinkle:
The first man was Tom Jones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThEq2wD3PXw And you'd have to be a complete moron to believe in Adam and Eve.
It's an interesting concept it would be cool to find out that was true however I have to agree with a post earlier from what I know everyone came from two Black Africans and white people were created from a strain of DNA that adapted to cloudy weather and living in caves.
Yes, but even if everybody came from 2 black Africans, wouldn't they have had to have the potential within them to have white children. Look at Michael Jackson. One time a long time ago, I saw an Albino African American, she had very, very, blond hair (same texture as traditional for Black folk) and she had red eyes. Just like an Albino rabbit does. This lady was not white, she was definitely Albino. I also have an adopted family member who is "full blooded" American Indian from Canada, and she has very, very white birth marks on her legs about 4 inches in length and about 1 inch in width. There are stories of blond babies and persons being born very white way back amongst the indigenous peoples of North America. In fact some thought they were "devils" and had them killed. So if we all descended from them then the DNA potential would still have been there, and could very well have come from a White Eve, or a White Noah, and his/her DNA structure would still have been very similar to that of the rest of the black race.
Often times those with dark skin will have very light/white birthmarks or scaring...it's just what happens. Sortof like when someone who is very light skinned gets scars and they are darker. Interesting thoughts about all this. My children spent quite a few years breeding animals with short life spans so we were able to see rather quickly how things evolve. I tend to think that this goes on with people too. Take a look at genetics and family lines and how things shift.
I looked into the genetics of albinism a while ago. I'm in no way shape or form pretending that I am an expert in the field, but this is what I gathered from my reading. If you believe in the theory of evolution (or a variation of it)...there was just some "stuff up" along the way and people became lighter. Now, whether that was as a result of natural selection, who knows.... Albinism is a genetic defect. Sure, albino people are white, but they're not the same white as white people (genetically) if that makes sense. IE - white people are not a bunch of albinos that bread together outside of Africa in a closed group. I like your points Tinkerbell. And make the point that no-one can prove that adam and eve existed any more than people can prove that the big bang happened. It all depends on what you believe.
