Technically we all came from the three sons of Noah and their wives, according to Genesis. You don't need to think about that one much, though. Probably a lot of cousin marriage.

EDIT: sons, idk why it said songs

Genesis doesn't say all of us came from Adam and Eve. Just that they were the first. Genesis neither says, nor implies, that God stopped at Adam & Eve.

Genesis seemed like it was two stories mashed up to one.

One had a mass of people already created, like you said but another story where Adam is first person.

My punishment is greater than I can bear! Today you have driven me away from the soil, and I shall be hidden from your face; I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me.

People already existed or is it assumed Eve populated the world in some way?

I assumed there were other people in Nod.

16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Those motherfuckers!

Regardless of 4 humans, or 6 humans or hell 100 humans. It would take 14k humans to repopulate the earth and have a healthy population.

So it's all bullshit. As we all know the old book is.
