Even the scientific community is positive that human civilization started in Africa. And the oldest homosapian bones were found in Ethiopia; a country in Africa. So was Adam and Eve African then?

Why can't you be like me, Im not Christian but when someone asks a question about Christianity I will try to answer it according to Christian teachings, you shouldn't have to include the factuality of the text.
I second that, considering the guy can only copy/paste parts of passages that he thinks agree with his point of view. He certainly gives Christians a bad name and shouldn't be used a measuring tool.
FistOfThe North:
Biblically the Garden of Eden (as noted) is said to have been located in the Middle East, not Africa; God also created Adam in his own image and we have no idea what 'color' God is.
If it makes you feel better, Jesus was probably dark skinned as the Bible states Jesus had "hair of wool" and "feet of bronze".
probably Mesopotamia.
So no, Adam and Eve, if they existed, were probably not African but Mesopotamian, or Arab...or Jewish. What have you. The Garden of Eden was in Mesopotamia, so you can just call them Edenites if it suits you.
edit: Personally, I always thought that the Garden of Eden wasn't on the Earth at all, but in the heavenly realm since it's called paradise, but I guess the general belief is that it was in the Mesopotamian area, although Ethiopia has also been suggested to be the place. Mesopotamia seems the most accurate geographical location, I believe.

haha, I love the suggested Bristol, Florida/Jackson County, Missouri location. it would only be right for the Garden of Eden to be in America, right?
when I was little I always assumed the Garden of Eden was in heaven. Then again, I never really read the Bible back then so I didn't know about these rivers.
