The Bible does not give a reason for the existence of the Adam's apple. If a relation to the Bible is desired, some people say - more tongue in cheek than serious - that Adam immediately felt guilty upon biting the apple and a piece of it got stuck in his throat and all men henceforth have had this anatomical feature.
