Scientists discover new evidence that suggests the Bible's Adam and Eve were actually real

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scientists are now suggesting that there may be truth to the biblical story of Adam and Eve.According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were created from dust and lived in the Garden of Eden.

While this story was previously considered to be mythical, researchers have found evidence that suggests humans may have descended from a single pair of ancestors, just like the pair from the Book of Genesis, the Daily Star reports.Studies of modern humans have revealed that the ancestors who passed on the male Y chromosomes and female mitochondrial DNA may have lived around the same time, contradicting the previous theory that they lived tens of thousands of years apart.Researchers at the University of Sassari, Italy, estimate that Adam lived 180,000-200,000 years ago, which is similar to the estimated age of Eve.

Archaeologists believe that the Garden of Eden may have been located in Mesopotamia, which is now modern-day eastern Syria, northwestern Turkey, and most of Iraq.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
