Why did God begin the story of mankind by creating only one person? The Talmud answers so that no man should be able ever to say to his fellow man, "my father is greater than your father" (Sanhedrin 37a). We are all related. One father for all people on earth makes everyone brothers and sisters in the truest sense of the word.~ R Ben Blech
Adam was not just one man – he was every man. Christian and Jew, black and white, American and Asian – we are all created by God "in his image."
