I will be disputing that. You might also be descended from Eve and the Serpent, through Cain (Scripture verifies this in many places) or, there is ample evidence of an eighth day creation, as reflected in Scripture's delineation of men into "ish" or "adam." This delineation has not survived translation, but may be seen in the primitive texts, or by clicking "lexicon" in the relevant verses online.
This also clarifies who Cain could have married in the Land of Nod.
We surely did not all descend from Adam and Eve.
Is anybody going to address the actual point of the picture? Who cares what Jesus looked like?

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 KJV
Gratuitous, but uninformative. I have Scripture, if you like?
Or did Abel have sex with mom, or a sister, or what?
A & E is a great story, that supplies what it needs to,
but to assume we all descend from just them is unsupported
in Scripture, and also requires magical thinking.
The very phrase "eth ha Adam" indicates other lineages,
to argue the one, and I would just ask you who Cain's
father was, for the other.
I see no problem with telling the A & E story to
children, but imo there is too much meat to be
found by just a little digging for that story to suffice
for a seeker.
A study of Gen 3:20 "...mother of all the living,"
your only possible foundation, will reveal itself better
in the lexicon. Our common interpretation is ridic on its face:
what, "all the living" as opposed to "all the dead?"
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Adam was Cain's father.

But ok, if you translate Gen 4:1 that way,
which I understand, you are left with no other Scriptural support,
but must refute several verses to the contrary.
I'll admit it seems contradictory at first;
I did hear an illuminating message on this,
years ago, but I've forgotten the argument now-
-I remem it's even better than "ya,
that would be the first time a pregnant woman
'got pregnant' by a cuckolded man."
