Sunnybeach7 - I don't really know if that is true or not
Strictly speaking in mathematical terms; there had to have been a biological Eve. From what I understand it is not likely that she was human as we know it, more likely one of the predecessor homonids. We know in the modern world that successive generations of inbreeding produces a great number of undesirable effects but we know virtually nothing of the reverse process. In what happens when the original gene pairings become widely distributed and diversify over successive generations.
I'm wandering into something I do not know a lot about but I do know that to simply suggest that the human race is; according to Christianity the product of incest, is a bit facetious.

Gome...
They married each other
It is to my understanding that "incest" was not an issue back then, as there were not all those "bad genes" and such to pass on to the children, so it was ok.
Though that does leave one to wonder...how did those bad genes eventually enter the gene pool?
