'''Eve''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|iː|v}}; {{Hebrew name|{{Script/Hebrew|חַוָּה}}|Ḥava|Ḥawwā}}; {{lang-ar|حَوَّاء|Ḥawwāʾ}}; {{lang-fa|حوا|Ḥavā}}; {{lang-el|Εὕα|Heúa}}; {{lang-la|Eva, Heva}}; [[Syriac language|Syriac]]: {{lang|syc|ܚܰܘܳܐ}} <small>romanized:</small> {{transl|syc|ḥawâ}}) is a figure in the [[Book of Genesis]] in the [[Hebrew Bible]].

Creation myths develop through oral traditions and therefore typically have multiple versions."</ref> of the [[Abrahamic religions]], she was the [[Protoplast (religion)|first woman]]. Eve is known also as [[Adam]]'s wife.

According to the second chapter of Genesis, Eve was created by [[God in Abrahamic religions|God]] ([[Yahweh]]) by taking her from the rib<ref>{{bibleref2|Genesis|2:21}}</ref> of Adam, to be Adam's companion. Adam is charged with guarding and keeping the garden before her creation; she is not present when God commands Adam [[Taboo#In religion and mythology|not to eat]] the [[forbidden fruit]] – although it is clear that she was aware of the command.<ref>{{cite book |title=Holy Bible (NIV): Genesis 3:2–3 |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+3%3A2-3&version=NIV |access-date=2020-06-22 |archive-date=2007-10-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006100201/http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:2-3 |url-status=live }}</ref> She decides to eat the forbidden fruit from the [[tree of the knowledge of good and evil]] after she hears the [[Serpents in the Bible#Eden|serpent]]'s argument that it would not kill her but bring her benefits. She shares the fruit with Adam, and before they could eat of the [[Tree of life (biblical)|tree of life]], they are expelled from the [[Garden of Eden]], with Eve herself suffering imprecations, with her being subjected to additional agony during childbirth, as well as her subjecting to her husband Adam. Christian churches differ on how they view both Adam and Eve's disobedience to God (often called the [[fall of man]]), and to the consequences that those actions had on the rest of humanity. Christian and Jewish teachings sometimes hold Adam (the first man) and Eve to a different level of responsibility for the "fall."

The [[Catholic Church]] by ancient tradition recognizes Eve as a saint, alongside Adam, and the traditional [[liturgical feast]] of [[Adam and Eve|Saints Adam and Eve]] has been celebrated on 24 December<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.catholiccompany.com/magazine/saints-adam-eve-christmas-tree-6569|title=Saints Adam, Eve, and the Christmas Tree|access-date=2021-03-14|archive-date=2021-06-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210629013527/https://www.catholiccompany.com/magazine/saints-adam-eve-christmas-tree-6569|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://catholicism.org/saint-adam-and-saint-eve-first-age-of-the-world.html|title = Saint Adam and Saint Eve (First Age of the world)|date = 24 December 2000|access-date = 14 March 2021|archive-date = 30 June 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210630051804/https://catholicism.org/saint-adam-and-saint-eve-first-age-of-the-world.html|url-status = live}}</ref> since the [[Middle Ages]] in many European nations, including [[Estonia]], [[Germany]], [[Hungary]], [[Lithuania]], and the [[Scandinavia]]n nations.

==Etymology==
{{see also|Serpents in the Bible#Hebrew Bible}}
"Eve" in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] is "Ḥawwāh" and is most commonly believed to mean "living one" or "source of life" as it is phonetically similar to "ḥāyâ", "to live", from the [[Semitic languages|Semitic]] root ''ḥyw''.<ref>American Heritage Dictionary</ref>

Hawwāh has been compared to the [[Hurrian]] [[goddess]] [[Hebat|Ḫepat]], who was shown in the [[Amarna letters]] to be worshipped in [[Jerusalem]] during the Late [[Bronze Age]]. It has been suggested that the name Ḫepat may derive from [[Kubaba|Kubau]], a woman who was the first ruler of the [[Third Dynasty of Ur|Third Dynasty]] of [[Kish (Sumer)|Kish]].<ref>The Weidner "Chronicle" mentioning Kubaba from A. K. Grayson, Assyrian and Babylonian Chronicles (1975)</ref><ref>Munn, Mark (2004). "Kybele as Kubaba in a Lydo-Phrygian Context": Emory University cross-cultural conference "Hittites, Greeks and Their Neighbors in Central Anatolia" (Abstracts)</ref>

It has been suggested that the Hebrew name Eve ({{lang|he|חַוָּה}}) also bears resemblance<ref>Saul Olyan, Asherah (1988), pp. 70–71, contested by O. Keel</ref> to an Aramaic word for "snake" ([[Old Aramaic language]] {{lang|oar|חוה}}; [[Aramaic]] {{lang|jpa|חִוְיָא}}). The origin for this etymological hypothesis is the rabbinic [[pun]] present in Genesis Rabbah 20:11, utilizing the similarity between Heb. ''Ḥawwāh'' and Aram. ''ḥiwyāʾ''. Notwithstanding its rabbinic ideological usage, scholars like [[Julius Wellhausen]] and [[Theodor Nöldeke]] argued for its etymological relevance.<ref name="Kosior 2018 112–130">{{Cite journal|last=Kosior|first=Wojciech|date=2018|title=A Tale of Two Sisters: The Image of Eve in Early Rabbinic Literature and Its Influence on the Portrayal of Lilith in the Alphabet of Ben Sira|url=https://www.academia.edu/36771379|journal=Nashim: A Journal of Jewish Women's Studies & Gender Issues|issue=32|pages=112–130|doi=10.2979/nashim.32.1.10|s2cid=166142604|access-date=2019-01-27|archive-date=2023-01-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230106120624/https://www.academia.edu/36771379|url-status=live}}</ref>

Gerda Lerner postulates that the story of Eve's birth from Adam's rib may have originated in the Mesopotamian myth of [[Enki]] and [[Ninhursag]]. In this myth, Enki eats poisonous plants that give him diseases. His wife, Ninhursag, then creates several deities to cure each of these ailments. One of them, [[Ninti]], is destined to heal Enki's rib. Ninti's name means both "the lady of the rib" and "the lady of life". This association of rib and life is similar to that found in Eve, whose name is linked to life and who was born of a rib.<ref name="Lerner">{{cite book |last=Lerner |first=Gerda| title=History of Women vol. 1 : The Creation of Patriarchy |year=1986 |publisher=Oxford University Press |pages=184–185}}</ref>

===Creation===
{{Main|Genesis creation narrative}}
[[File:Orvieto060.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{center|Creation of Eve<br />Marble relief by [[Lorenzo Maitani]] on the [[Orvieto Cathedral]], Italy}}]]
In Genesis 2:18–22, the woman is created to be ''ezer ki-negdo'', a term that is notably difficult to translate, to the man. ''Ki-negdo'' means "alongside, opposite, a counterpart to him", and ''ezer'' means active intervention on behalf of the other person.{{sfn|Alter|2004|p=22}} The woman is called ''ishah'', woman, with an explanation that this is because she was taken from ''ish'', meaning "man"; the two words are not in fact connected. Later, after the story of the Garden is complete, she will be given a name, ''Ḥawwāh'' (Eve). This means "living" in Hebrew, from a root that can also mean "snake".{{sfn|Hastings|2003|p=607}} A long-standing [[Exegesis|exegetical]] tradition holds that the use of a rib from man's side emphasizes that both man and woman have equal dignity, for woman was created from the same material as man, shaped and given life by the same processes.{{sfn|Hugenberger|1988|p=184}} In fact, the word traditionally translated "rib" in English can also mean side, chamber, or beam.{{sfn|Jacobs|2007|p=37}} Rib is a [[pun]] in Sumerian, as the word "''{{lang|sux|ti}}''" means both "rib" and "life".<ref name="Collon">{{cite book |last1=Collon |first1=Dominique |title=Ancient Near Eastern Art |date=1995 |publisher=University of California Press |isbn=9780520203075 |page=213 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RTGc9YH-C38C&q=adam+eve&pg=PA213 |access-date=27 April 2019 |language=en |quote=the strange store' of Adam’s ‘spare rib’ from which Eve was created (Genesis 2:20-3) makes perfect sense once it is realised that in Sumerian the feminine particle and the words for rib and life are all ti, so that the tale in its original form must have been based on Sumerian puns.}}</ref>

God created Eve from ''’aḥat miṣṣal‘otaiv'' ({{Script/Hebrew|אַחַת מִצַּלְעֹתָיו}}), traditionally translated as "one of his ribs". The term can mean curve, limp, adversity and side. The traditional reading has been questioned recently by feminist theologians who suggest it should instead be rendered as "side", supporting the idea that woman is man's equal and not his subordinate.<ref>For the reading "side" in place of traditional "rib", see {{harvnb|Jacobs|2007|p=37}}</ref> Such a reading shares elements in common with [[Aristophanes]]' story of the origin of love and the separation of the sexes in [[Plato]]'s ''[[Symposium (Plato)|Symposium]]''.<ref>Cf.

===Mother of humanity===
Eve (and womankind after her) is sentenced to a life of sorrow and travail in childbirth, and to be under the power of her husband. Adam and Eve had two sons, [[Cain and Abel]] (Qayin and Heḇel), the first a tiller of the ground, the second a keeper of sheep. After the death of Abel, Eve gave birth to a third son, [[Seth]] (Šet), from whom [[Noah]] (and thus the whole of modern humanity) is descended. According to Genesis, Seth was born when Adam was 130<ref>130 according to the Masoretic Text; 230 according to the Septuagint.

Certain concepts such as the serpent being identified as [[Satan]], Eve's sin being sexual temptation, or Adam's first wife being [[Lilith]], come from literary works found in various [[Jewish apocrypha]], but not found anywhere in the Book of Genesis or the [[Torah]] itself. She is remembered in ''[[De Mulieribus Claris]]'', a collection of biographies of historical and mythological women by the [[Florence|Florentine]] author [[Giovanni Boccaccio]], composed in 1361{{endash}}62. It is notable as the first collection devoted exclusively to biographies of women in Western literature.<ref name="Brown_xi">{{cite book |last=Boccaccio |first=Giovanni |author-link=Giovanni Boccaccio |year=2003 |translator=Virginia Brown |title=Famous Women |publisher=Harvard University Press |location=Cambridge, MA |series=I Tatti Renaissance Library |volume=1 |isbn=0-674-01130-9 |page=xi}}</ref>

Writings dealing with these subjects are [[extant literature]] in Greek, Latin, Slavonic, Syriac, Armenian and Arabic, going back to ancient Jewish thought. Their influential concepts were then adopted into Christian theology, but not into modern Judaism. This marked a radical split between the two religions. Some of the oldest Jewish portions of apocrypha are called ''Primary Adam Literature'' where some works became Christianized. Examples of Christianized works is ''The Book of Adam and Eve'', known as the ''[[Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan]]'', translated from the Ethiopian [[Ge'ez language|Ge'ez]] by [[Solomon Caesar Malan]] (1882)<ref>First translated by [[August Dillmann]] (''Das christl. Adambuch des Morgenlandes'', 1853), and the Ethiopic book first edited by Trump (''Abh. d. Münch. Akad.'' xv., 1870–1881).</ref> and an original Syriac work entitled ''[[Cave of Treasures]]''<ref>''Die Schatzhöhle'' translated by [[Carl Bezold]] from three Syriac MSS (1883), edited in Syriac (1888).</ref> which has close affinities to the ''Conflict'' as noted by [[August Dillmann]].

* In the Jewish book ''[[The Alphabet of Ben-Sira]]'', Eve is Adam's "second wife", where [[Lilith]] is his first. In this alternate version, which entered Europe from the East in the 6th century, it suggests that Lilith was created at the same time, from the same earth (Sumerian ''[[Ki (goddess)|Ki]]''), as Adam's equal, similar to the Babylonian ''[[Lilith|Lilitu]]'', Sumerian ''[[Ninlil]]'' wife of ''Enlil''. Lilith refuses to sleep or serve under Adam. When Adam tried to force her into the "inferior" position, she flew away from Eden into the air where she copulated with demons, conceiving hundreds more each day (a derivation of the Arabic ''[[djinn]]''). God sent three angels after her, who threatened to kill her brood if she refused to return to Adam. She refuses, leaving God to make a second wife for Adam, except this time from his rib.
* The [[Life of Adam and Eve]], and its Greek version ''[[Apocalypse of Moses]]'', is a group of Jewish [[pseudepigraph]]ical writings that recount the lives of Adam and Eve after their expulsion from the Garden of Eden to their deaths.
* The [[Deuterocanonical books|deuterocanonical]] [[Book of Tobit]] affirms that Eve was given to Adam as a helper (viii, 8; Sept., viii, 6).

[[File:Lucas Cranach d. Ä. 014.jpg|thumbnail|upright=0.6|''Eva'' by [[Lucas Cranach the Elder]] (1528)]]
In the first creation narrative ([[Elohim]]) account, it says "male and female [Elohim] created them" ([[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] 1:27), which has been interpreted to imply simultaneous creation of the man and the woman. Whereas the second creation account states that [[YHWH]] created Eve from Adam's rib, because he was lonely (Genesis 2:18 ff.). Thus to resolve this apparent discrepancy, some medieval rabbis suggested that Eve from the second account, and the ''woman'' of the ''Elohim'' account, were two separate individuals: Eve and [[Lilith]].

The creation of Eve, according to [[Rabbi Joshua]], is that: "God deliberated from what member He would create woman, and He reasoned with Himself thus: I must not create her from Adam's head, for she would be a proud person, and hold her head high. If I create her from the eye, then she will wish to pry into all things; if from the ear, she will wish to hear all things; if from the mouth, she will talk much; if from the heart, she will envy people; if from the hand, she will desire to take all things; if from the feet, she will be a gadabout. Therefore, I will create her from the member which is hid, that is the rib, which is not even seen when man is naked."<ref>Polano, Hymen (1890). ''The Talmud. Selections from the contents of that ancient book... Also, brief sketches of the men who made and commented upon it'', p. 280. F. Warne, {{ISBN|1-150-73362-4}}, digitized by [https://books.google.com/books?id=5EApAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA280 Google Books] on 7 July 2008</ref>

According to the Midrash of ''[[Genesis Rabba]]'' and other later sources, either Cain had a twin sister, and Abel had two twin sisters,{{clarification needed|reason=Wouldn't that make them triplets?|date=November 2023}} or Cain had a twin sister named Lebuda, and Abel a twin sister named Qelimath. The traditional Jewish belief is that Eve is buried in the [[Cave of Machpelah]].

[[Midrash Rabbah]] Genesis VIII:1 interprets "male and female He created them" to mean that God originally created Adam as a [[hermaphrodite]]. This original "Adam" was simultaneously male and female in both spirit and body; It is therefore not until later that God decides that "it is not good for this ''adam'' to be alone",{{citation needed|date=November 2023}} and creates the separate beings, Adam and Eve. This promotes the idea of two people joining to achieve a union of the two separate spirits.

The early rabbinic literature contains also the traditions which portray Eve in a less positive manner. According to Genesis Rabbah 18:4 Adam quickly realizes that Eve is destined to engage in constant quarrels with him. The first woman also becomes the object of accusations ascribed to Rabbi Joshua of Siknin, according to whom Eve, despite the divine efforts, turned out to be “swelled-headed, coquette, eavesdropper, gossip, prone to jealousy, light-fingered and gadabout” (ibid. 18:2). A similar set of charges appears in Genesis Rabbah 17:8, according to which Eve's creation from Adam's rib rather than from the earth makes her inferior to Adam and never satisfied with anything. Finally, the gravest evils attributed to Eve appear in Genesis Rabbah 17:8:<blockquote>Why does a man go out bareheaded while a woman goes out with her head covered? She is like one who has done wrong and is ashamed of people; therefore she goes out with her head covered. Why do they [the women] walk in front of the corpse [at a funeral]? Because they brought death into the world, they therefore walk in front of the corpse, [as it is written], “For he is borne to the grave ... and all men draw after him, as there were innumerable before him” (Job 21:32f). And why was the precept of menstruation (''nidah'') given to her? Because she shed the blood of Adam [by causing death], therefore was the precept of menstruation given to her. And why was the precept of “dough” (''ḥalah'') given to her? Because she corrupted Adam, who was the dough of the world, therefore was the precept of dough given to her. And why was the precept of the Sabbath lights (''nerot shabat'') given to her? Because she extinguished the soul of Adam, therefore was the precept of the Sabbath lights given to her.<ref>Genesis Rabbah, in: Judaic Classics Library, Davka Software. (CD-ROM).</ref></blockquote>In addition to this, the early rabbinic literature contains numerous instances in which Eve is accused of various sexual transgressions. Told in Genesis 3:16 that “your desire shall be for your husband,” she is accused by the Rabbis of having an overdeveloped sexual drive (Genesis Rabbah 20:7) and constantly enticing Adam (ibid. 23:5). However, in terms of textual popularity and dissemination, the motif of Eve copulating with the primeval serpent takes priority over her other sexual transgressions. Despite rather unsettling picturesqueness of this account, it is conveyed in numerous places: Genesis Rabbah 18:6, Sotah 9b, Shabat 145b–146a and 196a, Yevamot 103b and ‘Avodah zarah 22b.<ref name="Kosior 2018 112–130"/>

Some [[Early Church Fathers]] interpreted 2Cor.11:3 and 1Tim.2:13–14 that the [[Apostle Paul]] promoted the silence and submission of women due to Eve's deception by the serpent, her tempting Adam to eat the fatal fruit, and transgressing by eating of the fruit herself.

[[Tertullian]] told his female listeners, in the early 2nd century, that they "are the devil's gateway", and went on to explain that all women are responsible for the death of Christ: "On account of your [[Desertion|desert]] – that is, death – even the Son of God had to die."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tertullian.org/anf/anf04/anf04-06.htm |title=Tertullian, 'De Cultu Feminarum', Book I Chapter I, ''Modesty in Apparel Becoming to Women in Memory of the Introduction of Sin Through a Woman'' (in 'The Ante-Nicene Fathers') |publisher=Tertullian.org |access-date=2012-03-14 |archive-date=2012-02-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229231627/http://www.tertullian.org/anf/anf04/anf04-06.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Saint Augustine]], in his excursuses on the fall narrative in [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]], which led to the Catholic doctrine of [[original sin]], blamed Adam for sin rather than Eve.<ref>''[[The City of God]]'', Book XIII</ref> His reasoning was that, because sin lies in the soul and not the body and because he understood reproductive intercourse to comprise a material (bodily) contribution from the female and a spiritual (soul) contribution from the male, then original sin could not be based upon the transgressions of Eve. Rather, her sin was both forgivable, because she was deceived by the serpent, and lacked consequences for human history, because she could not transmit sin to her descendants. Adam, on the other hand, had full knowledge of his sin and out of lust chose a life of sin with the woman over a life with God. This Augustinian teaching is also rooted in Paul: "sin entered the world through one ''man''." (Rom 5:12). [[Gregory of Tours]] reported that in the [[Third Council of Mâcon]] (585 CE), attended by 43 bishops, one bishop maintained that ''woman'' could not be included under the term "man" as she was responsible for Adam's sin, and had a deficient soul. However, his case was declined and did not press the issue further.

Best after Marcantonio Raimondi, ''[https://library.nga.gov/permalink/01NGA_INST/1p5jkvq/alma991640163804896 Adam and Eve]'', 19th century, engraving, [https://www.nga.gov/research/library/imagecollections.html Department of Image Collections, National Gallery of Art Library, Washington, DC]]]
Eve, in Christian art, is most usually portrayed as the [[temptress]] of Adam, and often during the [[Renaissance]] the serpent in the Garden is portrayed as having a woman's face identical to that of Eve. She was also compared with the Greco-Roman myth of [[Pandora]] who was responsible for bringing evil into the world.

Some Christians claim [[monogamy]] is implied in the story of Adam and Eve as one woman is created for one man. Eve's being taken from his side implies not only her secondary role in the conjugal state (1 Corinthians 11:9), but also emphasizes the intimate union between husband and wife, and the dependence of her to him.

In conventional Christianity, Eve is a prefigurement of [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Mary, mother of Jesus]] who is also sometimes called "the Second Eve".

===Gnosticism===
In [[Gnosticism]], Eve is often seen as the embodiment of the supreme feminine principle, called ''[[Barbelo]]''. She is equated with the light-maiden of [[Sophia (wisdom)|Sophia]], creator of the word ([[Logos#The Gnostics|Logos]]) of God, the ''thygater tou photos'' or simply the Virgin Maiden, ''Parthenos''. In other texts she is equated with [[Aeon#Ptolemy and Colorbasus|Zoe]] (Life).<ref>Krosney, Herbert (2007) "The Lost Gospel: the quest for the Gospel of Judas Iscariot" (National Geographic)</ref> In other Gnostic texts, such as the ''[[Hypostasis of the Archons]]'', the [[Pistis Sophia]] is equated with Eve's daughter, [[Norea]], the wife of Seth.

{{Anchor|Islamic view}}
[[File:Islamic Adam & Eve.jpg|thumb|right|Painting from [[Manafi al-Hayawan]] (The Useful Animals), depicting Adam and Eve. From [[Maragheh]] in Iran, 1294–99]]
Adam's spouse is mentioned in the [[Quran]] in [[Quran 2:30–39|2:30–39]], [[Quran 7:11–25|7:11–25]], [[Quran 15:26–42|15:26–42]], [[Quran 17:61–65|17:61–65]], [[Quran 18:50–51|18:50-51]], [[Quran 20:110–124|20:110–124]], and [[Quran 38:71–85|38:71–85]], but the name "Eve" ([[Arabic language|Arabic]]: {{lang|ar|حواء}}, Ḥawwā’) is never revealed or used in the Quran. Eve is mentioned by name only in [[hadith]].<ref>Beyond The Exotic: Women's Histories In Islamic Societies – Page 9, Amira El Azhary Sonbol – 2005</ref>

Accounts of Adam and Eve in Islamic texts, which include the Quran and the books of [[Sunnah]], are similar but different from those of the [[Torah]] and [[Bible]]. The Quran relates an account in which God created "one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women" ([[Q4:1]]), but there are hadiths that support the creation of woman "from a rib" ([[Sahih al-Bukhari|Sahih Bukhari]] 4:55:548, Sahih Bukhari 7:62:114, [[Sahih Muslim]] 8:3467, Sahih Muslim 8:3468). Eve is not blamed for enticing Adam to eat the forbidden fruit (nor is there the concept of [[original sin]]).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Engineer |first1=Asghar |title=Islam in Post-Modern World |date=2008 |publisher=Hope India Publications |isbn=9788178711546}}</ref> On the contrary, the Quran indicates that "they ate of it" and were both to blame for that transgression (Quran 20:121–122).

There are subsequent hadiths (narrated by [[Abu Hurairah]]), the authenticity of which is contested, that hold that [[Muhammad]] designates Eve as the epitome of female betrayal. "Narrated Abu Hurrairah: The Prophet said, 'Were it not for Bani Israel, meat would not decay; and were it not for Eve, no woman would ever betray her husband.'" (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 611, Volume 55). An identical but more explicit version is found in the second most respected book of prophetic narrations, Sahih Muslim. "Abu Hurrairah reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Had it not been for Eve, woman would have never acted unfaithfully towards her husband." (Hadith 3471, Volume 8).

===Baháʼí Faith===
In the [[Baháʼí Faith]], the account of Eve is described in ''[[Some Answered Questions]]''. `Abdu'l-Bahá describes Eve as a symbol of the soul and as containing divine mysteries.<ref>Revisioning the Sacred: New Perspectives on a Baháʼí Theology – Volume 8 – Page 215 Jack McLean – 1997</ref> The Baháʼí Faith claims the account of Eve in previous Abrahamic traditions is metaphorical.<ref>Earth Circles: Baháʼí Perspectives on Global Issues – Page 77, Michael Fitzgerald – 2003</ref>

== Historicity ==
{{main|Historicity of the Bible}}
While a traditional view was that the Book of Genesis was authored by [[Moses]] and has been considered historical and metaphorical, modern scholars consider the Genesis creation narrative as one of various ancient [[origin myth]]s.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Van Seters|first=John|chapter=The Pentateuch|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=owwhpmIVgSAC&q=The+Hebrew+Bible+today:+an+introduction+to+critical+issues|editor=Steven L.

Analysis like the [[documentary hypothesis]] also suggests that the text is a result of the compilation of multiple previous traditions, explaining apparent contradictions.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gooder|first=Paula|title=The Pentateuch: A Story of Beginnings|publisher=T&T Clark|year=2000|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=49XpvvO-Oq0C&q=The+Pentateuch+Paula+Gooder|isbn=9780567084187|pages=12–14}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Van Seters|first=John|title=The Pentateuch: A Social-science Commentary|publisher=Continuum International Publishing Group|year=2004|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T-Vi9eK_vS0C&q=Sources+of+the+bible&pg=PA7|isbn=9780567080882|pages=30–86}}</ref> Other stories of the same canonical book, like the [[Genesis flood narrative]], are also understood as having been influenced by older literature, with parallels in the older ''[[Epic of Gilgamesh]]''.<ref>{{cite book|last=Finkel|first=Irving|title=The Ark Before Noah|publisher=Hachette|location=UK|date=2014|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AGYwIoItJQIC&q=The+Ark+Before+Noah|isbn=9781444757071|page=88}}</ref>

[[Polygenism|Polygenesis]], the belief that humanity was descended from multiple couplings rather than Adam and Eve alone, enjoyed a brief tenure as a major scientific alternative to the Genesis myth<ref name="Fluehr-Lobban 2006 p. 39">{{cite book | last=Fluehr-Lobban | first=C. | title=Race and Racism: An Introduction | publisher=AltaMira Press | year=2006 | isbn=978-0-7591-0795-3 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3lq3XDz39pIC&pg=PA39 | access-date=Sep 9, 2017 | page=39}}</ref> until scientific developments in paleontology, biology, genetics and other disciplines established that humans, and all other living things, [[evidence of common descent|share a common ancestor]] and [[evolution|evolved]] through natural processes over billions of years to diversify into the life forms we know today.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kampourakis|first=Kostas|year=2014|title=Understanding Evolution|location=Cambridge; New York|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-107-03491-4|lccn=2013034917|oclc=855585457|pages=[https://archive.org/details/understandingevo0000kamp/page/127 127–129]|url=https://archive.org/details/understandingevo0000kamp/page/127}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Schopf|first1=J.

These [[most recent common ancestor]]s of humans, when traced back using the [[Y-chromosome]] for the male lineage and [[mitochondrial DNA]] for the female lineage, are commonly called the [[Y-chromosomal Adam]] and [[Mitochondrial Eve]], respectively. These do not fork from a single couple at the same epoch even if the names were borrowed from the [[Tanakh]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Takahata|first1=N|title=Allelic genealogy and human evolution|journal=Mol.
