Two things about that (overanalyzing your shower thought):
Geneticists have what they call the “50/500 rule,” which basically means that you need at least 50 people to avoid inbreeding, and at least 500 to avoid genetic drift. So while three people are 50% better than two, it’s not going to come close to avoiding inbreeding.
If you read up on Lilith, including your Wikipedia link, you’ll see her name only comes up once in the Bible, and it’s not as Adam’s wife. All the stuff about her comes from other things, including Babylonian and Mesopotamian writings, and lots of folklore from the middle ages. And at that, she’s sometimes Adam’s first wife, with different explanations about what happened to her that really in her not coming back to the garden, or she’s a demon. So there’s not much likelihood that she’s contributing to the gene pool.
The chances are around 260k to 1. Factoring Eve’s lack of a second sex chromosome, (unless she has swyer syndrome) the equation would be 1/((22²+1)(23²))≈0.00039%
As you mentioned it depends on chromosomal differences, I just provided the probability of it actually happening.
And, yes. Barring any mutations or trait selectivity, if we all came from the same individual, there would be about 30k identical people of the 8.1b population.

Yeah, good point.
would their kids be clones?
No, the products of incest.
Hemophilia and all that would be more likely, but no cool identical stuff going on
What is hemophilia?
A blood disease where your blood doesn’t clot basically.
It’s a disease where you don’t stop bleeding when you bleed. The name comes from Latin words for blood and love, like, your body just loves bleeding

Depends on the chromosomes, if adam had two identical ones for each the kids would be clones barring mutations.

Seeing how we’re talking about religion and first man, I don’t think we’re limited by probability here.
BTW so there are 30k people with identical chromosomes??

Lol, I read this as “would their kids be bones?”
Lol only their mom is bones
Hmmm, no, because which of your genes you pass down is still a bit random.
That good ‘ol XX rib mmm
That one version. There actually two different versions of Adam and Eve.
What are the two versions?
One was they both created at same time and second version she created from one of his ribs.

Idk I thought it was an Evangelion thing
Awesome, I was showing up for the demon angle.
Good response!
