[1] According to a narrative among Yazidis, Adam and Eve each deposited their seeds into separate jars.
While Eve's seed developed into insects after 9 months, Adam's seed gave birth to Shehid ibn Jerr, the ancestor of the Yazidis, thus portraying Yazidis as having been created separately and differently from all other human beings.
This belief is confirmed by Yazidi religious leaders including Baba Sheikh and Baba Chawish, who regard sibling marriage as a great sin, which is not allowed in Yazidism.
Many Yazidi religious texts confirm that the story of Adam and Eve was adopted as a result of fear of oppression by Muslims, and that Yazidis existed before Adam.
