There might be a way to synthesize monogenesis (“human origins from one couple”) with evolutionary theory.
Perhaps at some point in hominid evolution, the first truly human female was born (“God-breathed”) with the ability to reproduce via parthenogenesis. But her parthenogenesis did not involve creating simply female clones of herself; rather, she was able to give birth to a male human, genetically different, but still similar, to herself. And since the male was genetically different, the male and the female were able to reproduce normally, without genetic harm found among “incest” parties.
Thus, biblically, the first truly human female was the first human, whom the Bible calls “Adam”. Hebrew tradition notes that “Adam” was originally androgynous: the first truly human female therefore had an XY chromosomal profile, though otherwise female. The biblical Adam’s “rib” process (producing “Eve”) refers to the first truly human female’s giving birth, via parthenogenesis, to a human male. Once that birth occurred, the male becomes the new “Adam”, and the female renounces her “Adamhood” and becomes “Eve”. Thus, humankind would originate from one couple.
Thus, Mary is the second Eve – because Mary also gave birth parthenogenetically.
As a model, see how Komodo Dragon females are able to reproduce parthenogenetically, giving birth to genetically different males; with whom they are then able to reproduce normally, without genetic harm. This ability might have evolved as a way to survive on Indonesian islands. Perhaps hominids evolved this capability during times of extremely challenging environment conditions roughly 100, 000 Before Present (B.P.).
