I used to think there wasn't but then why is this in
Genesis 3:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
This is right after eve was made for adam.
What do you think?

Was this told so soon in the bible because God already made other humans, or because it was coming to be soon?

Your queston is not supported by your follow on statement. Were there humans before Adam and Eve? According to the Bible, no. Adam was the first man and Eve the first woman. The statement from Genesis 3 which you site is directed towards future individuals and speaks about the unity of marriage and the completeness a couple has in that relationship. The one does not have anything to do with the other.

No, the first two humans were Adam and Eve. That Reading was just a metaphor, i think?!?! Well anyway, was that reading in the bible before adam and eve??? If it was then what bible are you reading? Im pretty sure that Adam and Eve were the first people to be made. I mean god made a man, then he made a woman for the man. But I think i have an idea of it. I think that the father is god and the mother is mother earth. They were made by god. So I think that they were made for eachother. But hten does that mean they were brother and sister? I dont think so but i really do think that mother earth and god were the mother and father.
Good luck on finding out!!!

Genesis, along with the other 4 books of Moses, was written a couple thousand years after Adam & Eve. Gen 3:24 is an editorial comment, either by Moses himself or by one of the other people who edited these books down through the ages (Samuel is suspected of being one).
But to 'answer' your primary question: it depends on what you call human! Are Neanderthall human?

No, there were no humans before Adam and Eve.
God said this for the future generations
Adam and Eve had many children.

There is a theory that there was two floods. One where Satan was thrown down. And then the one with Noah but I only clearly see one in the Bible.
In Genesis 3 the way I read it. GOD knew we were going to be multiplying like rabbits so he was laying down the plan or model for marriage.

It says in Genesis that God commanded Adam and Eve to
replenish the Earth. The prefix (re), means to do it again.

Actually, the concept of Adam and Eve comes from the bible. The early pages of the bible being almost pure mythology, I think we safely figure that Adam and Eve were simply characters in a story and never existed.
