He was to name the animals.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adam was a taxonomist. Taxonomy is the science of classification. Taxonomists name things and group them into classifications. Taxonomy is the first science.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did God use a rib? God made a chromosomal change in Eve. Every human child has the DNA encoding that produces twelve pairs of ribs. Adam\u2019s sons and daughters all have the same number of ribs that Adam originally had.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But there is another interesting fact about ribs: Ribs regenerate. All bones in the human body are able to mend themselves, but rib bone is unique in that it can regenerate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(This is just a teaser.
