What do you know about the world in which Adam first appeared?

Answer 1

A:The biblical genealogies tell us that Adam appeared on earth approximately six thousand years ago. At this time:

• This was approximately the beginning of the Bronze Age.

• The Naqada culture of pre-dynastic Egypt was beginning. Egypt would not be unified for centuries to come.

• New civilisations were developing in Mesopotamia and elsewhere in the fertile crescent.

• China was was covered by numerous Neolithic cultures.

• Horses were being domesticated.

• The last Ice Age had begun to melt around ten thousand years previously. After some gradual warming over several thousands of years there was suddenly a reversion to a short sharp mini Ice Age that scientists call the Younger Dryas, sometime around six thousand years earlier. Six thousand years ago, the climate was very similar to that of the modern era.

• Aborigines had colonised Australia at least forty thousand years earlier, and native Americans had spread throughout the Americas.
