Yes, we are!. My sister and I do not agree on this; we both say "we are all related", but if you read through the entire Old Testament, the Bible mentions giants and other peoples!. In Genesis, when Adam & Eve's children married, there were already cities!.
In other words, Adam & Eve are not the only persons that left descendants!.
also, read: "Mapping Human History: Discovering the Past Through Our Genes" by Steve Olson!. Mr!. Olson claims that everyone alive on earth today are descended from Nefertiti, Confucius, and Julius Caesar!.
After the flood, Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives, became the ancestors of everyone on earth!. (No giants or "wheels of light" are mentioned AFTER the flood, meaning we are ALL descended from Noah!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Using a statistical model, never mind citing the Adam and Eve story in the Bible, the scientific answer is yes, we all share a common ancestor!. Moreover, within certain smaller populations, such as Western Europe, we share many of them!.

Using a non-genetic model, statisticians estimate that the most recent common ancestor of all humans lived between 3000 BCE and 1 CE!. Anyone living at that time would either be ancestor of all humans living today or else have no descendants living today!.

So saying, Cousin, check with me before you decide to bring a green bean casserole or a jello salad for Christmas dinner!. I'll also need to set out a few extra plates!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Biblically the answer would be yes (Actually our common ancestor would be Noah)!. Scientifically the answer would be no!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
