aDAM and Eve were NATIVE Americans
P) and I can show you where they were, in the Beginning:

We all have to be the hybrids that came out of those two people (most likely medium skinned), and the eight people that got off the Ark. I do not even think Jesus was white, like most of European artists of old, pictured Him. Most of the people back then in the area Galilee and Nazareth were medium skinned like Arabs today.
To this day the majority of Nazarenes are medium skinned,
this is the congregation of the Good Shephard Church in Nazareth
REMEMBER, the over-whelming majority of paintings of Jesus were drawn by European artists,
who had NEVER seen Jesus. Therefore the skin tone of Jesus most like looked like the typical Nazarene of today, NOT Caucasian.

All of mankind came from Adam and Eve.
In fact, there are couples today who have had twins with one of the twins being white and the other twin being black. A good (but lengthy) article to read on this topic would be here:

Honestly I've never heard anyone assuming Adam and Eve were Caucasian. I've always, when the subject came up at least, told they were most likely some kind of brown or olive as the area Eden is thought to be is Semitic as far as genetic structure. When I read the Bible unless someone's talked about as specifically a race, as the Ethopian who wanted to be baptised, I've just thought of them as Semitic. I imagine darker skin.

VCO had a good point on the art side of things. Keep in mind that the majority of ancient art that's survived which deals with both OT and NT subjects has a variety of skin tones. It wasn't until the Roman church started to solidify as a group that inspired art turned more and more Caucasian. Even the depictions of Jesus went from dusky skin tone to pale white in less than about 400 years.
Adam and Eve carried all the genetic diversity in their genomes that all the people, (races) of the world came from them. Since dark colours (eyes, hair, etc) are dominant, that likely means the first people were dark, or darker! The lighter genes were carried recessively, and were expressed after the flood, when the sons of Noah and their children spread out into the world.
Since those recessive genes became the main ones in northern Europe, Caucasian became the main race. Likely the need for more Vitamin D in northern climes selected for lighter skinned people to survive. It may be that in places like Africa, where the sun was hot, darker skin served as a protection, selecting the darkest skin people for survival. Hence, black was expressed every generation, like black hair among Asians. (This is NOT macro-evolution, but micro-evolution - change within species, not from one species to another!)
I can't fathom how anyone could imagine that Adam and Eve were Caucasian. They carried ALL the races in their genes. That was handed down to their children and then their children, until the bottleneck after the flood, when only the genes Noah, his wife, sons and their wives carried were left to hand down their genes.
