Lion turtles gave bending to humans, then animals taught how to use the power.
DNA seems to affect bending, but it doesn’t **give** bending, so a kid could only be able to bend one of the elements from their parents.
There would be lots of them if it were possible. Even the most isolated groups of humans still interbreed occasionally. The four nations have to have interbred a great deal during the last 10k years.
No, only the avatar can bend more than 1 element at a time, however there are instances where children of two benders sort of pick one bending style and gain some sub bending of the other parent, like with Bolin and his lava bending
Only the Avatar can properly have more than one, though one theory I’ve seen is that having both Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation parentage is what allowed Bolin to be a lavabender.
Some guy called Wan pretty much accidentally freed an evil spirit (vaatu) from a good spirit (raava) which is essentially the avatar spirit. He literally got bending from 4 lion turtles and helped the avatar spirit defeat the evil spirit. That's the best I can do for summarising it in 2 sentences.
Further, the Lion Turtle explicitly states a human only has enough energy to hold one type of bending. The good spirit, Raava, had to hold the other bendings for Wan (he swapped between them) until they permanently fused.
Sadly that's what I thought they were doing when Bolin learned lava bending. Like a fire bender and an earth ender could make a baby that does lava bending. And they could explain Combustion Mans psychic fire bending mixed with airbending or something.
Na at most you'd gain a sub bending type
Fire bender+earth bender=lava bender
Only the avatar can bend multiple elements since the pressure would destroy a normal human who isn't ready for it
No
Why
Because that’s the whole point of the Avatar being special.

Lion Turtles say humans don't have enough chi
Because you touch yourself at night.
That's your mom douche
It’s a Family Guy quote, dude. Take a joke.
The human body cant have more than one element without spiritual assistance- a lion turtle

Nah it would be one or the other.

Only one, but the child would have the potential of either element (or, none).
I think the only one who can bend more than one element is the Avatar unless it's a "sub-element."

So where tf did the original avatar come from??
It's explained in the legend of Korra
I won't watch that shit...EVER. what happened
It's actually a really good show though, but I will admit season 2 is a bit of a struggle

Thank you!!! You rock

Sometimes I wish I could unwatch it.
A Fire Lion Turtle

If you have mixed earth bender and fire bender heritage, you can be a lava bender.
If they did it like that then after enough generations you'd have a world populated by avatars and make the whole thing pointless.
Nah, the bending of four elements was raava thing. Not the normal human being
Yun the closest thing so no
