I wonder if Ra is referring to the first hominids or the first modern humans (Don asks "The people that we now have—the first people, [inaudible] like us— where did they come from? How did they evolve?").
I think there's a clear evolutionary line between primates and early hominid genera but then things get weird. Recent discoveries have found that modern humans contain DNA that hints to interbreeding with an unknown 'ghost' population for which we have no fossil or DNA evidence. https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2020/...n-genomes/
I always saw the story of the Garden of Eden as an allegory for a genetic lab where a hybrid species was being grown. Remember that when Cain was forced to wander the earth he settled in world already populated by humans. We also get reference to the "Sons of God" and the "Daughters of Men" in the book of Genesis.
Just some idle speculation from me.
