There was a report quoting a Study that Adam and Eve did not exist at the same time, indicating that the Genesis version of Evolution man might be wrong.
Now another Study suggests that they lived ‘around the same time”.
It is not clear whether they lived at the same time.
So we are back to square one.
The emergence of man at the first instance is of interest.

The Bible says that Eve was creased out of Adam’s Ribs,
Hinduism states that Daksha Prajapati was the first Man and a woman was created by Brahma.
He married her.
Scientifically speaking,one has to know first whether one can be created out of another.
If true,this leaves another question.
From where did they spring fro?
Again from another Being?
This becomes a case of Circular Reasoning, which is a fallacy in Logic.
It all boils down to one thing.
is there a Reality?
If so, is it One or Many?
Story:
The Book of Genesis puts Adam and Eve together in the Garden of Eden, but geneticists’ version of the duo — the ancestors to whom the Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA of today’s humans can be traced — were thought to have lived tens of thousands of years apart. Now, two major studies of modern humans’ Y chromosomes suggest that ‘Y-chromosome Adam’ and ‘mitochondrial Eve’ may have lived around the same time after all1, 2.
When the overall population size does not change (as is likely to have happened for long periods of human history), men have, on average, just one son. In this case, evolutionary theory predicts that for any given man there is a high probability that his paternal line will eventually come to an end. All of his male descendants will then have inherited Y chromosomes from other men. In fact, it is highly probable that at some point in the past, all men except one possessed Y chromosomes that by now are extinct. All men living now, then, would have a Y chromosome descended from that one man — identified as Y-chromosome Adam. (The biblical reference is a bit of a misnomer because this Adam was by no means the only man alive at his time.)
Similarly, the theory predicts that all mitochondrial genomes today should be traceable to a single woman, a ‘mitochondrial Eve’. Whereas the Y chromosome is passed from father to son, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed from mother to daughter and son.
Adam and Eve lived in Africa at the same time – but probably never met, scientists claim.
It was previously believed that ‘Y-chromosomal Adam’ and ‘Mitochondrial Eve’ – the most recent common ancestors to males and females – lived at completely different times.
But a new study of 69 men from around the world found ‘Y-chromosomal Adam’ walked the Earth between 120,000 and 156,000 years ago, much earlier than previously believed.
It places him nearer to Eve who was around 99,000 to 148,000 years ago the analysis found.
But the researchers say it is ‘extremely unlikely’ they were exact contemporaries.
Initial estimates for the male MRCA ranged from between 50,000 to 115,000 years ago.
Geneticist Professor Carlos Bustamante, of Stanford University, California, said: ‘Previous research has indicated the male most recent common ancestor (MRCA) lived much more recently than the female MRCA. But now our research shows there is no discrepancy.’
