Urgh, can't stand it when old topics are brought back up. .lol.
The idea of creating a stable gene pool from a start point of only one breeding pair, especially in a higher order species like humans is to me... implausible.
You've seen what happens with even small populations like Mormons, or low variation like Dalmatians... genetic instability and retardation.
I'm a firm beliver in de-evolution (not that I've read into it or anything), think that over time the human race has become more and more dependant on externals, tools and so on,that wehave lost touchwith ourselves almost completelyand aren't capable of half the things we used to be.
Forgetting the biblical Adam and Eve all of us (homosapiens) can trace our heritage toone Man and WomaninAfrica as in we all have a common gene in us that stems from those two people. Check out;

They don't say that they're Adam and Eve as they only go back 40,000 years and the human race is older than that but entire populations can be traced back to specific tribes or people. As people migrated their genes mutated, the mutations are used as markers in tracing peoples genesso the same thing could be said of the Biblical Adam and Eve, maybe their childrens genes, ''mutated''making them diffrent enough for them to copulate and populate. confused3
Other than that you have theories that Adam and Eve weren't the only two people around at the time, that they were made for a specific purpose carrying that gene as Homosapiens butthey siredtheir children whoin turn went off and copulated with other types of
humanoid. Theres the question over Cain, he was outcast after killing his brother but who did he marry if they were the only people on the planet at the time?
Fact is there are diffrent types of humanoids from Homosapiens to Neanderthals, theres quite a few that aren't counted as typical Homosapien which is the only one considered to be (truely) human, the Pigmies of Africa for example differ genetically from people considered to be Homosapien... Just to knock peoples rationale... as you walk the street you're actually surrounded by people whos genetic make up may not be considered ''Human'', as in they may be Human-oid but they
aren't Homosapiens and therefore aren't ''Human''.
*Pause for thought*
Now scoff if you will but certain peoples genetics can't be traced back to that tribe in Ethiopia or Africa, they're off the scale as in their liniage can be traced but it dissapears at a certain point. If you take a geno test with the National Genographic it'll come with a side note, that some people (it says Africans but it applies to other peoples as well) can't be traced back to that 40,000 year marker.
Always saying this on BNV but people should really look into what the Tribes people of Africa and Austrailia have to say, taking into account that we're (supposedly) the first peoples and the tribes are the custodians of history you'd think people would pay them more respect. They talk of races of human beings who were wiped out in floods and various atrocities, mythological tales of, ''The First People'' and ''The Second People'' (and others)including their relatives who are still around today. Match this with scientifical archeological info on various types of humanoid and it startsstands up to the point where I personally have more faith and respect for what the tribes have to say than thosescientists.
Not to drift off topic but those scientists feel no way about doing a bit ofAnthropology and theiving knowledge, from herbal remedies to historical information. Did you know that the tribes people of Africa can read the Heiroglyps in Kemet? For some reason people don't connect the two, they even call their form of writing something else to sever the link fact is its the same and the Kamu had TWO forms of writing one for documents (Demotic/Heratic) the other for religious texts (Heirogliphs).

[align=left]With all that trouble in translating Egyptian texts you'd think they'd ask us to translate it for them and with their B.S proclaiming to have 'found out' that humanity comes from Africa you'd think those Africans didn't know already as though its not in their folklore along with other ancient tales. The Zulu call it; ''When the Rocks were too soft'' the Aborigionees call it, ''Dream time'' btw. [/align]
