An entertainment page on Facebook shared a post on 19 November 2025 showing what was allegedly called the 3D model of Adam, the first human. The image looked exactly like American actor Vin Diesel, popular for his role in the Fast and Furious movie franchise. The post included text stating that the model was what scientists thought the first human being looked like, but the whole story was actually a joke that started in 2022.
The page captioned the post:
"Scientists have revealed a new 3D reconstruction of what Adam, the first human, might have looked like! The model blends archaeology, genetics and historical research. The internet is already fascinated due to his resemblance to a famous movie character. Seeing ancient humanity brought to life like this hits different. 👀✨"
The whole thing started back in October 2022 when Alamo Drafthouse NYC, a movie theatre, posted a joke on social media. They shared the picture of the 3D model, and it blew up, getting more than 125000 likes and thousands of retweets.

Of course, there was no real Princeton study behind it. It was just a meme for fun. The theatre even followed up with another post saying that they were a movie theatre, and not an academic journal, so people would know they were kidding.
At the time, the meme was part of a trend where people posted photos of celebrities and pretended they were famous historical or religious figures. When the post popped up again in 2025, the internet reacted the same way as before. Some people believed it at first, while others jumped in on the joke and added their own funny comments.

The story of Adam and Eve
According to Wikipedia, in the creation story told in the bible, Adam and Eve are known as the first man and woman. According to the Book of Genesis, God formed Adam from dust and placed him in the Garden of Eden. Later, God made Eve from one of Adam’s ribs so he would have a companion.
They lived peacefully in the garden until a serpent persuaded Eve to eat fruit from the tree God had warned them not to touch. She then gave some to Adam. After they disobeyed this instruction, God sent them out of the garden, marking the start of life outside Eden.
