no scientific evidence but i suspect the 1st forensics performed determined discovered the larger voice chords and the only explanation was adam screaming no don't bite that apple

I know a woman with an Adam's apple. She used to be a bodybuilder and take steroids. Hmm. Makes sense.

Player #28375021, The name of this natural body characteristic goes back to the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. As the tale goes, Adam ate a piece of forbidden fruit from the apple tree, and a part of it got stuck in his throat. This is where the name “Adam's apple” comes from.

Ivo

Player #28375021, Because Adam was a man and it is visible in men.

Adam’ apple is a part of the larynx and named as thyroid cartilage because the larynx consists of many cartilages, the thyroid is one of them. Larynx should be right answer.
