A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A computational biologist distinguishes genetic ancestry from genealogical ancestry to reopen some historical-Adam possibilities within evolutionary science.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It shows how greater precision can reopen possibilities hidden by a blunt science-versus-Bible frame. The book is most useful as a carefully bounded proposal, not as scientific confirmation of a theological claim.
Good starting place if…
You accept evolutionary science but want to understand whether some form of historical Adam and Eve can remain logically compatible with universal human ancestry.
Know before you begin…
Swamidass distinguishes genetic ancestry from genealogical ancestry and develops a compatibility model under defined assumptions. The science does not establish that Adam and Eve existed, and the proposal does not by itself resolve theological questions about sin, representation, or scriptural interpretation.
