| '''Adam and Eve''' were the two humans shown in [[Subject 16]]'s [[The Truth]] video. They were humans who rebelled against [[Those Who Came Before]]. In the Truth video, they are seen running from someone or something. They use free-running to climb a large, futuristic looking building. While Adam and Eve are climbing the building, Eve can be seen holding a stolen [[Piece of Eden]] which helps her look through the darkened glass at the human slaves within the building. When they are on top of the building, Eve says: "Adam, I have it!". Adam then says "Eve" and Eve yells: "Look out!". This could be because they see someone or something behind them, or the [[The Apple|Apple]] gave them power enough to realize they were being watched by Subject 16, as it did with [[Minerva]] in the [[Vault]]. This explains why they did not react until after they had The Apple.

| The couple appear to have disobeyed their [[Those Who Have Gone Before|masters]] by stealing a Piece of Eden - specifically, one of the Apples which presumably has given them immunity to hypnotism. The theft of the artifact could have been the first act of defiance which caused the conflict as described by Minerva. The 'innocence' of mankind was lost when they realized that the superiority of [[Those Who Have Gone Before|Those Who Came Before]] was due to their technological advances. This prompted a war between the two species. Another possibility is that they were given the artifact by one [[Those Who Have Gone Before|of Those Who Came Before]], possibly one who is analogous to the religious entity of Satan.

| Subject 16's record also shows that the artifacts (the Staff, the Apple, the Pieces of Eden) were tools that the First Civilization used to wield power over humans. And one glyph puzzles reveal that man was neurologically programmed to obey the pieces. Even so, some are immune to them, and there is some speculation as to why this is, one relatively probable theory derived from glyph puzzle 'Bloodlines' is that at some point humans and [[Those Who Came Before]] interbred. This being the case, Desmond and his ancestors' eagle vision, resistance to the pieces of Eden, and Ezio's being able to open the vault may suggest that Desmond's blood line descends from this human/Ones Who Came Before union. Since Adam and Eve managed to disobey their masters, it is possible that they too are hybrids (suggested also by their free running) and had some degree of resistance to mind control.

| Genesis tells the story of Adam and Eve in chapters 1, 2 and 3, with some additional elements in chapters 4 and 5:
| |
| | |
| '''Genesis 2''' opens with God fashioning a man from the dust and blowing life into his nostrils. God plants a garden (the Garden of Eden) and sets the man there, "to work it and watch over it," permitting him to eat of all the trees in the garden except the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, "for on the day you eat of it you shall surely die." God had already created the animals, and when Adam tried to find a help-mate, none of the animals are satisfactory, and so God causes the man to sleep, and creates a woman from his rib. The man names her "Woman" (Heb. ishshah), "for this one was taken from a man" (Heb. ish). "On account of this a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his woman." Genesis 2 ends with the note that the man and woman were naked, and were not ashamed.
| |
| | |
| '''Genesis 3''' introduces the Serpent, "Slyer than every beast of the field." The serpent tempts the woman to eat from the tree of knowledge, telling her that it will not lead to death; she succumbs, and gives the fruit to the man, who eats also, "and the eyes of the two of them were opened." Aware now of their nakedness, they make coverings of fig leaves, and hide from the sight of God. God asks them about what they have done. Adam blames Eve, and Eve blames the serpent. God curses the snake (who before this must have been able to walk before this because) versus 14 says "upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life." God then curses Adam and Eve with hard labor and with pain in childbirth, and banishes them from his garden, setting a cherub at the gate to bar their way to the Tree of Life, "lest he put out his hand ... and eat, and live forever."
| |
| | |
| '''Genesis 4 and 5''' give the story of Adam and Eve's family after they leave the garden: three children are named, [[Cain]], [[Abel]] and Seth, as well as other sons and daughters. Adam lived for 930 years. ("The woman" is given the name Eve in the closing verses of Genesis 3, "because she was the mother of all living"; Adam gets his name when the initial definite article is dropped, changing "ha-adam", "the man", to "Adam".)

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *It is possible that Adam and Eve could be the offspring of a human and one "Those Who Came Before". It was stated in a journal of Subject 16, that humans have a neuro-transmitter embedded in their brains, which is subject to the power of Eden. If the theory that Altaïr and his bloodline are descendants of a human and one "Those Who Came Before", is to be believed it means that the neuro-transmitter is either not present or non functional in Adam and Eve, which explains why they are resistant.
