—Adam and Eve discuss the Piece of Eden

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, one of Those Who Came Before is seen crafting more Pieces of Eden.

Both Adam and Eve (as well as other humans in the Truth video) are dressed in skin tight translucent suits (appearing almost as naked as their biblical counterparts).

The Binary Code at end of The Truth video translates to:
01000101 = E
01000100 = D
01000101 = E
01001110 = N

If you count the number of zeros and ones there are in the Binary Code, you find 20 zeroes and 12 ones. These zeros and ones can translate to 2012.

Subject 16's record shows that the artifacts (the Staff, the Apple, and the other Pieces of Eden) were tools that the First Civilization used to wield power over humans. One glyph puzzle reveals that human-kind was neurologically programmed to obey the pieces. However, some are immune to the pieces of Eden due to the humans and Those Who Came Before interbreeding (according to Subject 16). This being the case, Desmond Miles and his ancestors' Eagle Vision, their resistance to the pieces of Eden, and Ezio Auditore's being able to open the Vault (nevermind Desmond's own activation of the Vault and the Apple under the Collosseum in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood), largely shows that Desmond's bloodline descends from this union due to the unique traits only given by such a union (also stated by Juno at the end of Brotherhood).

Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder.

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 of the Earth 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 saw that Adam was the only one of his kind, and allowed the man to name all the animals and find a help-mate. After naming them all, the man could not find companionship in any of them, and so God causes the man to sleep, and creates a woman from his rib. The man names her "Woman" (Heb. ishah), "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 God lied, and that it will not lead to death, but make her and the man like gods themselves. 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, because) verse 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").
