In Genesis Eve was tempted by Satan and eventually sinned because she wanted to be like God and the fruit was visually pleasing. After Adam sinned they became sinners and sin entered the world.
Then we are told that they sewed fig leaves together because they now recognized that they are naked. How much time elapsed during the temptation? Did the temptation occur over days or in a single day? Then we are told that in the cool of the evening God visited them Genesis It appears this occurred that evening and the announcement of the curse happened quickly.
Then time elapsed until God removed them from the garden. Genesis states that God removed Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden because they had sinned. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden. Genesis NASB. It is an imperfect verb implying repeated action in the past. It may imply the activity of God removing Adam and Eve from the garden.
Even if it does not, the context implies that God was eager to remove them since He did not want them to eat from the Tree of Life and live forever Genesis The Tree of Life would have enabled them to live for eternity in their sinful, physical state. That would have been a horrible existence, living for eternity as a sinner. Genesis reveals that Adam and Eve had two sons after they were removed from the garden and Genesis indicates that people existed in a region called Nod.
It is obvious that modern humans did not interbreed with hominins living over , years ago. It is also clear that there was no single 'Adam' and 'Eve,' but rather groups of 'Adams' and 'Eves' living side by side and wandering together in our world. In fact, their hypothesis creates a sort of 'space-time paradox' whereby the most ancient individual belonging to Homo sapiens species has not yet been born, " Dr. Elhaik added.
Drawing on a cinematic analogy, Dr. Elhaik continued his explanation: "If we take the numerical results from previous studies seriously we can conclude that the past may be altered by the mother of 'Adam' deciding not to conceive him in the future, thus, bringing a retroactive end to our species. Another previous study, conducted at Stanford University, determined that Adam and Eve lived during the same time in history , but dated their existence to a different, later period.
According to the same study, the first human lived , to , years ago, while Eve lived 99, to , years ago. All rights reserved. Bustamante says that, all in all, the two papers match up well.
In recent years, many population geneticists have focused on interpreting the rest of the genome — the autosomes — because it provides a richer, more complicated, picture. But the latest studies suggest that the Y chromosome is still useful for studying human history, Bustamante says. His team calculated that the chromosome gains a new mutation roughly every years, enabling geneticists to tell when two closely related populations split or how distant cousins are related.
In February, for instance, researchers led by Michael Hammer, a population geneticist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, reported the discovery of an African American family whose Y chromosomes do not seem to directly descend from Adam's 4.
One possible explanation is that the Y chromosome came from an archaic species of human that interbred with Homo sapiens tens of thousands of years ago. Because of the random nature of genealogy, he says, two different genetic lineages are unlikely to have common ancestors who lived in the same population at the same time. Poznik, G.
