O que é: Narrativas tradicionais yazidis afirmam que a comunidade descende de Adão, sem a mesma linhagem comum atribuída ao restante da humanidade em outras narrativas religiosas.

Base e contexto: A crença aparece em descrições clássicas da tradição e em estudos comparativos sobre sua autoimagem.

Debates e variações: O peso literal ou simbólico dessa narrativa pode variar entre membros da comunidade e entre estudiosos que descrevem a tradição.
