They would thus have been middle-brown in color, and from them, in one generation, the various shades of brown would have been produced. These color differences were likely amplified following the business at the Tower of Babel [Genesis 11:1-9] when the human gene pool was divided.
But the common consensus is that they would be brown, e.g. African or olive, e.g. Middle Eastern. We can be assured that they weren't pale in complexion, e.g. European, as that skin color came much later in human history.
Because Adam and Eve lived near the equator, it is reasonable to think that they would have had heavily pigmented, dark skin. Heavy pigmentation serves as an advantage, protecting the skin from damage by UV radiation and preventing the loss of folic acid. Adam and Eve most reasonably had brown eyes.
Dark skin. All modern humans share a common ancestor who lived around 200,000 years ago in Africa. Comparisons between known skin pigmentation genes in chimpanzees and modern Africans show that dark skin evolved along with the loss of body hair about 1.2 million years ago and that this common ancestor had dark skin.
As per the biblical interpretation of Genesis 3:21, God produced coats of skin for the first man and woman Adam and Eve and clothed them when they were found naked in the garden after eating the forbidden fruit.
How Could So Many Skin Colors Come from Adam & Eve?
What race were Adam and Eve?
For this question, we have to understand that Adam and Eve were not white as many depictions of them claim them to be. They were most likely a blend of white and black and carried those genes for their offspring to eventually develop either lighter or darker skin depending on the environment.
I think that they had darker olive-colored skin, brown eyes, and really dark brown hair. Today during my Bible study, I read something that took me by surprise. In volume 12 on "First and Second Samuel" of the “Thru the Bible Commentary Series,” J. Vernon McGee says that King David had red hair.
People with a rare condition called methemoglobinemia have actual blue skin. The Blue Fugates of Kentucky are the only known family carrying this trait.
Most humans see the world in color. Our visual system has evolved to let us perceive a rich color palette, one that can make sense of subtle blue hues in a night sky as well as brilliant reds and yellows in a bird's plumage.
[10] They reported that the complexion in Indian population ranged from whitish to brown and that skin complexion ranged from fairer in North India to darker in South India [ Figure 1]. This wide diversity in pigmentation among the Indian population can occur due to the presence of several gene polymorphisms. ...
The authors knew nothing about evolution, so they pictured God creating Adam immediately and spontaneously on-the-spot, out of the clay of the soil. So almost certainly they pictured both "Parents" as physically beautiful and healthy, without any trace of ape-hood or other kinds of pre-human animality.
James H. Charlesworth says that Jesus's face was "most likely dark brown and sun-tanned", and his stature "may have been between five feet five and five feet seven".
In Islam. In Islam, Allah created Adam (Arabic: آدم) from a handful of earth taken from the entire world, which explains why the peoples of the world are of different skin colors. According to the Islamic creation myth, he was the first prophet of Islam and the first Muslim.
The Bible does not usually indicate a person's color, but more often describes the land of origin. People moved around a lot more than you might think in the ancient world. Ordinarily, but not always, people from Africa were black.
As people moved to areas farther from the equator with lower UV levels, natural selection favored lighter skin which allowed UV rays to penetrate and produce essential vitamin D. The darker skin of peoples who lived closer to the equator was important in preventing folate deficiency.
And when it comes to the color which catches our attention the most, you might be surprised to find that it's not red, blue, or even green. In fact, it's yellow.
Fossils and DNA suggest people looking like us, anatomically modern Homo sapiens, evolved around 300,000 years ago. Surprisingly, archaeology – tools, artefacts, cave art – suggest that complex technology and cultures, “behavioural modernity”, evolved more recently: 50,000-65,000 years ago.
Nevertheless, for the purpose of understanding cultural and historical differences, five major racial groups are typically recognized: Caucasian, Mongoloid, Negroid, Australoid, and Amerindian [2].
In the Bible, we learn that Judas has red hair and Satan, himself, is sometimes illustrated as a Red Dragon with red hair. To understand the belief of that time, one can add that Eve and Bathsheba, the two temptresses with red hair, brought Adam and the King David to their downfalls.
Goliath (/ɡəˈlaɪəθ/ gə-LY-əth) was a Philistine giant in the Book of Samuel. Descriptions of Goliath's immense stature vary among biblical sources, with texts describing him as either 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) or 9 ft 9 in (2.97 m) tall.
