Adam of Gen1 is the same Adam of Gen 2

Actually, the adam in Gen.1 stands to mean for mankind while the Adman in Gen. 2-3 was the historical person we know of as Adam. Here is a chart that will help you see that the accounts of Gen. 1 and Gen. 2-3 are two different separate accounts.


Gen. 1 is a overview of a blow by blow of creation in a brief and general manner while Gen.2 is an entire separate event that talks about the first two humans coming out of Africa and into the Fertile Crescent and into an Oasis (the Garden of Eden) and they come into contact with God and represent humankind before Him. My view of interpreting Genesis 1-3 is a mix of Proclamation of Days view and the ANE Cosmology view. Here is a chart that explains what I am talking about.

On what you say with Gen.5, the book of the generations of Adam are simply that, a family tree that details the line of Adam, not as of humanity as a whole. On Mark 10 Jesus wasn’t going into the origins of humanity, but was discussing the issue of marriage and divorce.
