What Color
Were Adam And Eve?
The short
answer is : medium brown. We are all brown. Some of us are
very dark brown, some of us are very light brown. It depends
on the combination of our melanin genes. There is Melanin A
and Melanin B, with their respective dominant and recessive
alleles: A, a, B, and b. Since the first couple had every
allele ever invented, their color was determined by the
combination AaBb as in the chart below. The colors used here
are of my own manufacture, but they serve to demonstrate the
relative shades of Eve's children. Incidentally, this can be
seen in actual families in India, whose people are blessed
with the full set of melanin combinations.
