The Bible I read has at least 66 chapter ones.
And after reading all of them, I find that you are in error.
The real Bible does not say what you claim it says,
There were NO people on earth before Adam.
But if you want to think otherwise, you certainly have the right to be wrong.

Yes there were people on the planet before Adam and Eve, because people existed in the Bible in Chapter 1 and like you said they were told to be fruitful and multiply. Adam and Eve didn't appear until Chapter 2 and they were not told to be fruitful and multiply, but rather they were ashamed when they even knew that they were naked. So yes there were people on the Earth before Adam and Eve. Just think if you were Adam and did not have a childhood to make mistakes in. You would definitely make child-like mistakes as an adult.
Praise Jesus for saving us.

First off, Adam just means 'man' as a human being, So no, there couldn't have been any human beings before the first human beings.
Secondly the whole of Genesis is mostly allegorical, Abraham was a Chaldean, but according to some accounts he was actually our old friend Brahma of the Hindus. Recall that when he went out of Ur, he was called Abram, it wasn't until many years later that 'God' changed his, and his wife's names. But none of these stories need be taken too literally, they were copied by the Israelite scribes in Babylon aroundthe 5 th century bc, from other texts, mostly Sumerian and Egyptian, because those two were the oldest known civilisations at the time the Habiru ( Hebrew ) were forming.
Thus the names and so on are not really relevant to early Judeo-Christian history.

God said He blessed them, them being Adam and Eve, and told them to multiply. So more people came from Adam and Eve, but there were no more people besides them. So the short answer to your question is no. God bless.

If you believe what the bible says, then yes. God created man and woman a few days before he created Adam and Eve. Their son went to Nod to find a wife.
I don't understand why Christians keep forgetting that.

From a strictly biblical view God told Adam & Eve and their offspring to be fruitful and mulitply.
From a scientific view Adam would represent the first true human to emerge.

In Genesis it tells us that God created MAN, not MEN. And then He took a rib from the MAN to create a companion for the man: WOMAN, not WOMEN. He told the man and woman to be fruitful and multiply.

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT MAN WAS CREATED ON THE SIXTH DAY. IT ALSO SAYS THAT AFTER THE SEVENTH DAY HE CREATED ADAM AND EVE. NOW WHICH COMES FIRST 6? OR 8? NOW DO YOU SUPPOSE THERE WERE PEOPLE ON EARTH BEFORE ADAM AND EVE? YES, ALL HIS CREATIONS WERE TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY.

No record in scripture of anyone before Adam. The Bible does say he was the first man. That means-no.
