I was thinking that the best way to determine the historical validity of Adam and Eve is to look at the surrounding cultures, their belief systems and then work on what Genesis is trying to tell us in light of this. This is a good thing to do, but, who and when it was written down could tell us a lot too.
I thought it was Moses. The guy who brought us Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Well...
It was probably written in the post-exilic period.
