The timeline is confusing. In Genesis 1:27, it says, “So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” But then the scripture says in 2:18, “Then the LORD God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.’” And He creates Eve in 2:22. So I don’t know if Chapter 1 is foreshadowing what is going to come later, or there was a retcon, or maybe there were other men and women aside from Adam and Eve outside of the Garden of Eden…?

I’ve heard a white-supremacist interpretation of that — which wouldn’t seem to merit further elaboration, but which also seems like it’d become irrelevant once things winnowed down to Noah and crew.
