God Put Us Together
Life and Living Part Two
So, no matter what traits your body displays, they all came from what had been breathed into Adam to make him the person he was. As God used the rib of Adam to make Eve, the traits that Eve had from Adam through God's power became hers to pass on. So now, as a man and a woman unite, the man gives half the traits the new embryo will have, and the woman will provide the other half of the baby's characteristics.
God puts us all together the way he wants us to be. Psalms 138:13 – 18.
Friends of a family may often comment about the appearance of a newborn baby and say the baby has the eyes of the father but the chin of the mother. This comparison doesn't always have to be. Take, for example, the twins born of Issac and Rebekah. Their two sons (twins.) were utterly different from each other and probably also not like either parent. (See Genesis 25:24, 25, 26.) What is happening is that many of the traits that were initially in Adam and shared with Eve are coming to light.
This transfer happened on a different scale after Noah's flood when God divided the population by assigning families different languages. These language groups separated the people from the other language groups for so long that each group developed its family characteristics. Those especially noticed were skin color, color and texture of hair, the shape of the face, shape and position of eyes, and to some degree, their heights and body build. However, all came from those shared by Adam and Eve through Noah and his family after the flood.
See Genesis 10:5 NIV. (From these, the maritime peoples spread out into their territories, by their clans within their nations, each with its language.)
These became world travelers and spread people to all places on earth, as shown by the many separate concentrations of different-looking people worldwide. Many are “dead” civilizations worldwide where their towers and high structures are found deserted. (South America, Mexico, and others.)
But all people still came from Adam and Eve, the first two humans on earth.

While we may have features that seem to be unique, we all also bear the mark of our maker and the corruption of sin in our world. It is an interesting place to be ... with the free choice to pursue our Creator or our demise. Thanks again for sharing!
