Many people think that in Genesis 1 God created Adam and Eve, and that Genesis 2 is a recap of Day 6. Others, believe that God created mankind (Adam) on Day 6, not a singular man (Adam) and that on day 7 God put one man Adam, in the special garden God made grow, and then made Eve out of Adam.
Scientifically, evidence seems to show that mankind has been around for 40,000 years. Scientifically, also, it is theorized that in order for a species to survive and thrive there needs to be more than one initial pair procreating.
Even so, God is the Creator and sustainer. Therefore, either is plausible. We really do not know, exactly.
Some say that it was only Adam and Eve because Eve is called the "Mother of all the living." However, she was not the mother of Adam. So, perhaps this phrase is referring to all of the people who would be from their lineage, who can be spiritually alive because they follow God. Only their lineage through Seth survived the flood. This lineage was that of the Savior to come, in the fullness of time, Jesus. So, everyone who is alive now or who lived after the flood is from Adam and Eve's lineage through Seth.
