There are parts of the Bible that are not meant to be taken literally. The entire book of Genesis for example.From where did the "wives" of Cain and Abel come?

if you go one step further and accept that evolution is actually responsible for the emergence of humans among the creatures of earth, you can stop worrying about it altogether.
And why doesn't it "violate the commands God later gave in the Book of Leviticus which condemned these relationships." Because that would be problematic, so we just pretend it doesn't.
As I read your question, I'm struck by what seems to be your supposition that you need two newly "evolved" members to successful mate -- as if they are already a new species. But this is not true. A small, beneficial genetic modification in one animal can be passed, through mating with another, unchanged, partner, to their offspring. Or at least some of them. And to the extent that the modification is beneficial (in terms of ability to produce more offspring that survive to reproduce), that can spread rapidly. And during much of this time, the fact that there is a new genetic line within the pack would be unnoticed.Not that I'm going to lose sleep over it, but ... have you ever read a description of evolutionary theory that explains how two members of the same species but differing in gender evolved roughly simultaneously? I've never bothered to research the matter and only decided to be curious enough to ask today.
