The Two-Population Model and Traditional Teaching on Adam?

[swamidass (S. Joshua Swamidass)]

@Philosurfer, @CPArand, and @pmcelliott it seems @anon46279830 wants to continue the conversation here with you.

Unfortunately the dialog ended just as they were beginning to explore the viability of the two-population model. That is, the idea that the biblical role of Adam is not to be the sole genetic progenitor of humanity, but rather to be the progenitor of the line of Messiah who would redeem humanity. There were other humans present outside the garden of Eden.

Though, I would emphasize that Adam could still be the sole-genealogical progenitor of the humans of Scripture: Story Three: Recent Sole-Genealogical Progenitor Adam.
