      Short answer No!!

      Long answer, well, we all come form our previous descendants i.e. your mum and dad, your gran and granddad, their mum and dad etc. etc. etc. etc. so if you work your way back say 500,000 years to the homo sapiens age or even further back to the homo eire 2,500,000 years ago. There the was probably the first signs of evolution form Ape to human. If you want to call these first two homo or homo sapiens Adam and eve then I would say yes.

      Basically, I think that religion hides the beauty and magic of human evolution from basic life forms to animals and humans. Also, the beauty and science behind how the world and universe was created is wonderful and does not need to be explain by a deity or god.

      I agree with Justin.

      I don’t believe in adam and eve as the bible explains it. But I do believe that we came from apes and there would have been a primate then developed into the first homo/homo sapien and these few homo sapiens then gave birth to all of us over so many years. So technically you could call these first homo sapiens adam and eve.

      Ultimately though, the first adam and eve is probably bacteria over 3.5 billion (3,500,000,000) years ago. As we all came from these bacteria 😀
