IN canon doesn't talk about the Flood, which leaves us free to make stuff up. Here's a suggestion:
c. 90,000 BC, God conducts the Eden experiment on a paradisal (naturally) tropical island in what is now the Persian Gulf. Or maybe it was a sandy peninsula. This lets Eden be at the Biblical intersection of the Tigris, Euphrates, and mythical/lost Pishon and Gihon rivers.
Adam and Eve are expelled and, if Eden is on a peninsula, the connection washes out soon thereafter, making an island.
The descendants of Adam and Eve multiply, mixed in with Grigori blood. Time for the Flood.
The Flood is a sudden rise in the Persian Gulf, washing away the sandy island that is the Adamites' world. Noah's Ark is the first boat ever and bears the eight humans and assorted animals into Mesopotamia proper.
Once there, they find other human races -- Neanderthals and archaic Homo sapiens. Not to mention Grigori and their offspring. Amuse yourself with hybridizations.
Around 40,000 BC, the Adamite strain has become dominant, culturally and spiritually if not genetically, and we have the "Great Leap Forward," with Cro-Magnon culture flourishing around the Mediterranean, nifty cave paintings and carvings, etc.
