Aande stones

The stones found on the bodies.

Adam and Eve is the nickname that Locke gave for two corpses discovered by Jack and Kate in the caves. ("House of the Rising Sun") On these bodies, Jack found a small bag containing one white and one black rock.

Later on, in 2007, when Hurley and Jack revisited the caves where the skeletons lay, Hurley theorized that the skeletons could belong to two of the survivors of 815, due to time travel. ("Lighthouse")

Facts

  • They are skeletons laid to rest in the caves that Jack had discovered in the episode "White Rabbit".
  • The bodies themselves were not discovered until the episode "House of the Rising Sun", when Jack and Kate stumbled upon them in the caves after escaping from a swarm of bees.
  • They were last seen in the episode "Lighthouse" by Jack and Hugo.
  • Jack explained in "House of the Rising Sun" that one skeleton was that of a woman and the other was that of a man.
  • Jack said in "House of the Rising Sun" that the bodies must have been dead 40-50 years based on the deterioration of their clothing; however in "Deus Ex Machina", John Locke says that normal clothing would decompose within 2 years. He also noted that the high quality polyester on the Nigerian smuggler would take 2-10 years to get to its current condition.
  • They were carrying one black and one white stone. Jack took these stones and neglected to mention them when Locke asked what had been discovered. See also: Black and white.
  • The religious nickname is taken from Adam and Eve of the Bible.
  • The skeletons were sepearated in their first appearance (the Season One episode "White Rabbit" - 2004 timeline) but were shown placed side-by-side three years later in their second appearance (the Season Six episode "Lighthouse" - 2007 timeline). It is unknown if this is a production error, or if someone moved them in the intervening three years.

Interview testimony

  • In a January 2007 EW.com interview with Jeff Jensen, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse answered the fan question, "What is the meaning or significance of the two skeletons that Jack and Kate found in the cave of season 1?" (potential spoilers)
  • In a March 2008 Underground Online article, the producers talk about how the skeletons may give insight into the nature of the show and evidence that certain elements were planned early on. (potential spoilers)
  • In a March 2009 Sky1 interview, the producers confirmed that Adam and Eve are not the biblical figures, and are "not the dog either".
  • In January 2010, after Barack Obama and his administration moved their State of the Union Address away from February 2 to avoid a conflict with the premiere of Lost's final season, Damon and Carlton said that Obama could ask a question about any unresolved mystery and they would answer it. According to the White House's ABC correspondant Jake Tapper, Obama allegedly asked the identity of Adam and Eve, to which Carlton replied "Good question! Have POTUS call us!"[1]
