About Adam and Eve Were Chinese
What if humanity’s true origin story is not singular, but plural?
In Adam and Eve Were Chinese, the author challenges one of the most sacred assumptions of modern anthropology: that all humans came from a single ancestral point in Africa. Through a compelling mix of demographic analysis, linguistic study, symbolism, and philosophical exploration, this book proposes an alternate lens – one where multiple Genesis events occurred across different regions, and where East Asia, particularly China, may represent humanity’s deepest living root.
With a narrative that bridges science, myth, and mathematics, the author invites readers to rethink long-held ideas about population dominance, linguistic evolution, and the silent clues buried in ancient texts. What if the biblical “Eastward in Eden” reference was not just poetic, but geographical? What if the oldest living civilization points not to a branch of humanity’s story, but to its very trunk?
This book does not seek to dismiss the Out-of-Africa model outright but instead offers an expansive reimagining – one that makes room for complexity, parallel emergence, and a deeper understanding of who we are and where we come from. Through an accessible, thought-provoking style, Adam and Eve Were Chinese opens the door to a broader conversation about human origins, one that respects the known evidence while daring to ask bigger questions.
For anyone who has ever wondered whether the story we’ve been taught is the full story, this book offers a provocative and rewarding journey into possibility.

Author Bio:
James Shepard (informally known as “Jim”) is a lifelong explorer of big ideas, blending philosophy, history, science, and intuition into thought-provoking narratives. Never content to simply accept consensus, Jim challenges traditional models of human origins and dares readers to rethink the stories they have always been told. With a background rooted more in curiosity than academia, he approaches complex questions not from an ivory tower, but from the ground level – where everyday observation and logical reasoning can often reveal more than textbook answers.
This first book project is a labor of passion, stitched together from late-night reflections, countless cups of coffee, and a relentless drive to understand where we come from – and why it matters. Jim believes that truth isn’t necessarily handed down; it’s something to be wrestled with and uncovered through persistence, courage, and an open mind.
When not writing, he enjoys lifting weights, stargazing, studying ancient civilizations, and contemplating the bigger patterns hidden within history and myth. This blend of personal wonder and disciplined thought gives his work its unique flavor: accessible yet profound, challenging yet human.
Above all, Jim writes for the seekers – for those who would rather wrestle with difficult questions than settle for easy answers. Adam and Eve Were Chinese is only the first step in what promises to be a much larger journey into the mysteries of human existence.
