Adam is the name given in Genesis 1-5 to the first human. Adam is the first human-being aware of God, and features as such in various belief systems (including Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity, and Islam).

According to Christianity, Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden by eating from the Tree of Knowledge. This action introduced death and sin into the world. This sinful nature infected all his descendants, and led humanity to be expelled from the Garden. Only through the Crucifixion of Jesus, humanity can be redeemed.

God formed Adam out of "the dust of the ground", placed him in the Garden of Eden, and forms a woman, Eve, as his companion. Adam and Eve eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge and God condemns Adam to labor on the earth for his food and to return to it on his death.

He later has children with Eve named Cain, Abel, and Seth. The Book of Genesis lists his descendants from Seth to Noah.

All published appearances of Adam before January 1, )-(95)}} are in the public domain in the United States.

Some notable appearances are listed below:
*Book of Genesis
*Paradise Lost

* “Why Adam Sinned” (song) by Alex Rogers (1904)

*Woman (1918 film)

*Hit Comics #51 - Kid Eternity summons Adam using his powers to save him from primitive humans that he and Mr.Keeper encounter after going back in time.
*Out of This World #7 - Adam Marsh, a scientist who teaches evolution and dismisses notions of Adam and Eve, stumbles on a time machine and finds himself alone in paradise waiting for his Eve.

*The concept of Lilith, the wife Adam had prior to Eve may have developed from an interpretation of the Book of Genesis and its dual creation accounts; while Genesis 2:22 describes God's creation of Eve from Adam's rib, an earlier passage, 1:27, already indicates that a woman had been made: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
