I submit to you that is is more likely that "Eve" was created first and "Adam" was created from Eve.
We know more about genetics and evolution today. We know about conception.
Life begins at conception. From a man, we need his sperm. From a woman we need her egg. With both we need a petri dish.
To develop that embryonic life to a newborn, we need the womb and body of a woman.
Given what we know about cells, genetics and evolution, it seems that it required more time to evolve a woman than to evolve sperm. I can readily accept that after woman was created, the process began in woman to find the means to create sperm. Before man was created, sperm was created within a woman's body. In time, evolution created man and woman lost the ability to create sperm.
I can imagine that first woman holding up her newborn and pointing, asking "What's this little thing hanging between the legs?" It's small. Let's call this newborn "Atom" which, due to a speech impediment, was heard as "Adam".It was recognize as the eve of something new. That's why the first woman is called "Eve".
Enjoy.

Thanks. Not only do I not understand it, I am not aware of it. I'll look into it.
@SunshineEast You mean you haven't read the creationist story in Genesis ?. By far the most well known of the creationist myths. One which predates it by thosands of years is the Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime Or is it the meaning of the word mythology that is confusing you.
myth·ology
[mɪˈθɒlədʒi]
NOUN
a collection of myths, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition:
"tales from Greek mythology" · [More]
synonyms:
myth(s) · legend(s) · folklore · folk tales · folk stories · lore · tradition · stories · tales · mythos
a set of stories or beliefs about a particular person, institution, or situation, especially when exaggerated or fictitious:
"we look for change in our thirties, not in our forties, as popular mythology has it"
the study of myths:
"this field includes archaeology, comparative mythology, and folklore"
@Moravian No, I have not. I have never been motivated to read the Bible.
BTW, I've been to Inverness. Scotland is one of my favorite destinations.
@SunshineEast You should read it' Fascinating stories but a bit repetitive and heavy going at times.
I live near the resort town of Aviemore south of Inverness. We had our annual "Thunder in the glens" jamboree this weekend when around 4000 Harley riders decend on the town. A sort of Sturgis with whisky
@Moravian I've been to Sturgis as a "world traveler", not as a biker. It was awesome. I learned from the bikers that trip. As I drove through the surrounding country, I found that the bikers frequented the locally owned business.As they traveled, the left a trail of money with the locals.I thought that that was grand.
@SunshineEast I passed through Sturgis once and it was mayhem so it's as well that there is some money left behind.. I have had bikes all my life from early British to modern Jap machines but I am not a fan of the Hardly Drivables. Big, heavy ,ungainly and expensive and although most of the riders are middle aged they behave like teenagers by removing the baffles from the exhaust to make as much noise as p;ossible
@Moravian I chuckled. I wonder, is that not the American way -- the mayhem, not acting our age, drawing attention to ourselves?
@SunshineEast Could be and US cultures eventually cross the pond. Not all of us uptight Brits adopt them though.
@Moravian When I was in Scotland last, I became aware of Nell Gwyn who was the mistress of Charles II, King of Scotland, 1649 to 1691. I saw a picture of a painting done by Simon Verelst while exploring Inverness:
This painting was done in 1680! I was taken back by the sensuality of it for its day.
I don't think of the Brits or Scots as being "uptight".
@SunshineEast Beautiful paintings. I think the Aristocracy and the peasantry were quite uninhibited but the middle classes were a bit more uptight.
@Moravian Ya, the Aristocracy had all that they wanted. The peasantry did not have as much as they needed so what does it mean to have a little less. The middle class was protecting what they had. What do some assert, "The more things change, the more things stay the same."
Enjoy. I'm off to a bluegrass festival for a few days.
