Was Adam white or black (African)?

This is not even a debate, insofar as the last agnatic ancestor common to all current humans is established in genetics as being a “black” African.

You can see there is an intrinsic and intelligible link between etymologies of words, particularly of African languages, and mythologies as well as cultures. This may seem surprising, but shouldn’t be, since this phenomenon has already been observed for a very long time with the terms, such as Adam, found in the biblical mythology and their meanings.

I obviously have every reason to think that maMA Dinga or rather maMA Dĩnŋa is actually just another way of calling AdaMA -Dĩŋyaa/Adamadeŋ (Lit. Humanity, Human being in Mandé/Mandingo languages)

Etymology, semantics, especially in African languages, clearly justify the mythological narrative, even biblical, as much as it gives an account in a way or another, through the narrated story, of meanings that intrinsically possess the words.

If due to some similarities in the two accounts of Adam and Adapa, one nevertheless can’t, without necessarily claiming anything, fail to notice the phonetic connection of Adapa and Adãpa.

The father or rather the very first ancestor of Genetic Adam, i.e the Adam who interests us here, i.e the first ancestor of Mankind, or whatever you call him, being himself African, it simply obvious that he was definitely "black". Just like his offspring Genetic Adam, right? Whoever speaks of the first Human on Earth necessarily speaks of the very “Adam” of ALL Humanity. Unless the one of the Bible isn't related to this planet.

Words down to lexemes in most African languages (most tonal) have a polysemous nature and the languages themselves hide, like everywhere, an often unsuspected philosophical dimension. But, it’s interesting to observe that in the notion of human being, Àdɛ̀sā proposed by the Dãŋ (People), the latter is also literally, metaphorically perceived as a pearl which emanates from the fragmentation of the main pearl which is in itself the Primordial Being that is Àdɛ̀.

Beyond the obvious, in a certain way, this issue is quite simple... We can at least agree on this since it’s factual and verifiable in several respects: The very notion of “Adam”, the concept, the essence of the ancestral figure, the first Human as the Hebrew account introduces it in its books, neither appeared with the latter nor appeared with Hebrew spirituality (as a specifically structured pious practice, that would be specific to a people), but precedes it.

Clearly, in recent centuries, all have been done to exclude the African, the “Black” man from the biblical and cultural Hebrew Odyssey, while all the clues lead to him. Now, the reputation of language in general as the “black box” of human history isn’t word in vain. I’d even say these are words in etymology, if you get it.

“Sà” also means, among other definitions, to burn, to be lit, to toast, to roast. Associated with “Àdɛ̀” to mean “Human” i.e “Àdɛ̀sā”, it appears justified to think that it refers to the “Creation myth” and obviously recalls the metaphor of the “Burnt face”. Especially since in Gã language, related to (a-)Dãŋ and which in addition to the same territory and cultural space shares many words with it, including a part of the list above, “Àdèsá” in addition to meaning "Human" also means “Story”, “Tale”, “Song sung during folktales”.

“Genetic Adam” is far close enough for us to no longer speak of Human species, but of Human race and more accurately of modern Man. Incontestably the one indigenous to the ecosystems of the Motherland was “black”. That’s it! The more his age is pushed back through research, the clearer it is that he was “black”.

Since, it’s quite clear that the first human is what the figure of Adam is supposed to illustrate.

If, as Science says, the Genetic Adam, so-called Y-chromosomal Adam, who’s technically the “most recent common patrilineal ancestor”, lived 338,000 years ago, and Human first appeared in Africa, when in fact his skin color only changed and diversified very recently, there is almost no chance that at the time he could have been anything else than what is today considered a “black” individual.
