Maybe they all had wings Or were lifted up by the choir celestial to be dropped unceremoniously on the nearest bit of fertile ground. Except that it would have been under several fathoms of water so there they were, stuck on top of a rocky mountain with nothing to eat or drink (Noah wonders if God would miss the odd animal or two). Bored, pissed off; wondering if this was all a practical joke.

Going off on a tangent, if the garden of Eden story was true, the whole human race started with an act of incest.
Humans became accomplished sailors early on.

And yeah, not only Adam and Eve but also Noah and family
