"Where do all the races come from?"
Some have wondered, if we
are all descendents of Adam and Eve, why are there so
many races? The Bible informed us 2,000 years ago that
God has made all nations from "one blood."
We are all of the same race—the "human race,"
descendents of Adam and Eve, something science is slowly
coming to realize.
Reuters news service reported
the following article by Maggie Fox: Science may have
caught up with the Bible, which says that Adam and Eve
are the ancestors of all humans alive today. Peter Underhill
of Stanford University in California remarked on findings
published in the November 2000 issue of the journal
Nature Genetics . . . Geneticists have long agreed there
is no genetic basis to race—only to ethnic and
geographic groups. "People look at a very conspicuous
trait like skin color and they say, ‘Well, this
person’s so different’ ...but that’s
only skin deep," Underhill said. "When you
look at the level of the Y chromosome you find that,
gee, there is very little difference between them. And
skin color differences are strictly a consequence of
climate."
