Comment on Everyone makes incest jokes about Adam and Eve and their children but they never mention that there was another woman named Lilith (Adam's first wife) who would have added variance to the gene pool.

  No, the products of incest.

  Hemophilia and all that would be more likely, but no cool identical stuff going on

      A blood disease where your blood doesn’t clot basically.

      It’s a disease where you don’t stop bleeding when you bleed. The name comes from words for blood and love, like, your body just loves bleeding

  Depends on the chromosomes, if adam had two identical ones for each the kids would be clones barring mutations.

    The chances are around 260k to 1. Factoring Eve’s lack of a second sex chromosome, (unless she has swyer syndrome) the equation would be 1/((22²+1)(23²))≈0.00039%

      Seeing how we’re talking about religion and first man, I don’t think we’re limited by probability here.

      BTW so there are 30k people with identical chromosomes??

        As you mentioned it depends on chromosomal differences, I just provided the probability of it actually happening.

        And, yes. Barring any mutations or trait selectivity, if we all came from the same individual, there would be about 30k identical people of the 8.1b population.

  Hmmm, no, because which of your genes you pass down is still a bit random.
