All humans are descended from just TWO people (truncated)

All modern humans descended from a solitary pair who lived 100,000 to 200,000 years ago, scientists say.

Scientists surveyed the genetic 'bar codes' of five million animals - including humans - from 100,000 different species and deduced that we sprang from a single pair of adults after a catastrophic event almost wiped out the human race.

These bar codes, or snippets of DNA that reside outside the nuclei of living cells, suggest that it's not just people who came from a single pair of beings, but nine out of every 10 animal species, too

The DNA bad news is that the two people we all descended from were called Adam & Steve!

Who were Cain and Seth’s wives and where did they come from?

God probably made them too.

That hadn’t occurred to me, but it makes perfect sense!

This article reminded me of the stories that appear every so often about archaeological discoveries corroborating ancient events in the Bible.

If you really want to know you can find the answer in Genesis 5:4.

Is this surprising? I seem to remember reading something about this in a book. They lived in a garden and ate apples or something.

I will do you one better.

*I* remember reading this book about some old guy who built a boat to save a bunch of animals from a flood.

We’re supposed to read the articles?!?

[reasonisfaith]

I think you’re right.

This part seems to confirm it:

“after a catastrophic event almost wiped out the human race.”

[NorthMountain]

You’re remembering the wrong story.

[Vermont Lt]

That theory has sold a lot of books.

I think there is more to the story. But, who am I am to disagree with a deity?

Cisgender is newspeak for heterosexual.

[Vermont Lt]

Fish would be my guess.

[ealgeone]

Sure seems to be more than a "theory" now doesn't it?

If not you have explain the following:

How life came from lifelessness?

How something came from nothing?

[Vermont Lt]

Which time?

Really?
I was thinking about the ones on a boat.
