The Last Adam: Exploring the Theological Implications of a Modern Human Carrying Ancient DNA

This paper explores the theological and philosophical implications of an individual in the modern era carrying ancient DNA, such as A-PR2921. By connecting this unique genetic legacy with the biblical concept of the "Last Adam," this thesis investigates how ancient lineages can embody both the past and future of humanity. It bridges theological insights from Christianity, particularly the narrative of Adam and Christ as the "First" and "Last Adam," with genetic science, raising questions about divine purpose, destiny, and human evolution.
