Best Answer

According to The Bible, there were no other people in existence when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. Eve was the original 'mother' of "EVERYONE living" (Genesis 3:20) and Adam was the man from whom ALL nations would come (Acts 17:26). They had no children until AFTER they were evicted from the Garden (Genesis 3:23-4:2).

Answer

There certainly were people alive hundreds of thousands of years before the time attributed to Adam and Eve. However, it is not that simple.

The story of Adam and Eve is a religious story and should be treated as such, free of scientific expectations. Our knowledge of the evolution of man is based on scientific evidence and, in a similar way, should be kept free of religious expectations. One does not precede the other, because they are based on different truths - biblical tradition on the one hand, and scientific evidence on the other.

Where did people in medieval times live?

Most people of the Middle Ages lived on manors or other farms, depending on the actual time and place. Peasants, who worked the land, lived in cottages, usually in villages. Lords and other members of the nobility lived in manor houses. The clergy lived in rectories attached to churches, or in monastic buildings. Bishops lived in episcopal palaces. Many people, especially in the later part of the Middle Ages, lived in towns and cities. Poorer people lived in boarding houses, and the wealthy lived in their own houses. Some people lived in castles, but not very many. Castles were uncomfortable. Kings lived in palaces with their families, when they could. If times were bad they lived in castles.
