Genesis 2 16:20
16: And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat;
17: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die.”
18: And the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet for him.”
19: And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20: And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper meet for him.

As we continue to the story of Eden, here comes the paradox of humanity.
For we already have a slight inkling of the possibilities of other civilisations side by side to the story of Eden and lands, yet most are inclined to perceive that there were only two beings from the beginning of all time, Adam and Eve. This conclusion is only due to the Bible’s mention of the first two. Empirically is confusing due to the vast blood lines that populate our Earth today. I can recommend to those whom learning discernment of spiritual texts to utilize Occam's razor. A philosophical principle stating that when faced with multiple possible explanations, the simplest one is usually the correct one. Yet we are all unique and so is our thought processes and reasonings.
And what is this tree of judgement that were said to cause decent, for the tree of life is true knowledge but the tree of knowledge of good and evil is judgement. Knowledge is a blessing in disguise as it is wisdom eternal.
Also, within these passages, Adam was given authority to name every fowl and beast, when knowing it was God whom brought the first names to life in the Origin story. Therefore, the dichotomy of the relationship between Man and God.
One of the most painful emotions we share as a human race is loneliness, and therefore it would be wise to have a partner, obviously for all of the healthier reasons.
16: In all the foods through out the land, Humankind/Man can eat.
17: But the tree of judgement be it not for verily will cause the decent of innocence.
18: It is not just, to feel lonely therefore be with a partner, for Man and Woman.
19: And from insect to wildebeest, with knowledge lets allow man to give name of.
20: And life from every land to sea from insect to flock, were now given name. Yet Humanity/Man felt lonely.
