The traditional view of the historicity of Adam and Eve, though once the near-unanimous view of Christians throughout the first 18 centuries of the church, has come into doubt by many evangelical scholars in recent years. Some views espoused today portray Adam and Eve as chieftains of a tribe, archetypes, literary figures who may or may not be historical, and non-historical. Due to specific details given in the text of Genesis, the elleh toledoth structural markers, the Hebrew waw-consecutive imperfect forms, the biblical genealogies, and the New Testament discussion of the Fall and Genesis 1–11, it is here argued that the best interpretation is that Adam and Eve are real, historical persons, created uniquely by God as the first human pair, the universal ancestors of the rest of humanity.
