Adam and Eve are figures from the Biblical creation story in the Book of Genesis. According to the narrative, Adam was the first man created by God, and Eve was created from one of Adam’s ribs to be his companion. They lived in the Garden of Eden until they disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, which led to their expulsion from the garden and the beginning of human suffering and toil. The story is foundational in Judeo-Christian tradition and has been interpreted in various ways over time.
