Scientists have found evidence suggesting humanity may trace back to a single pair of ancestors, reigniting discussions on human origins. This discovery aligns with the biblical story of Adam and Eve from Genesis, which describes God creating Adam from dust and Eve from his rib.

Researchers analyzed genetic data and concluded that modern humans may have emerged from a bottleneck, where a small population—possibly a single pair—gave rise to all humanity. One scientist stated, *“Our genetic analysis suggests a severe reduction in population size at some point in history.”*

This finding challenges the prevailing view that humans evolved gradually from a large ancestral group. Some argue that *“the data supports a recent common origin,”* while others caution against interpreting it as proof of a biblical narrative.

Critics question whether genetic bottlenecks necessarily imply a single pair, suggesting environmental or survival factors could have played a role. As one expert noted, *“Science cannot confirm a literal Adam and Eve but does show a genetic starting point.”*

While the study fuels debate, it highlights how science and ancient narratives may intersect, prompting further exploration into humanity’s origins.
