Joel:
The way I see it, Adam was a walking talking individual that had a beating heart, and Adam lived 930 years and he died.
Humanity, mankind, the family of Adam and Eve created in the image of God, can also be called Adam.
1st Corinthians 15:45 KJV - And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1st Corinthians 15:45 Amplified - Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being-an individual personality; the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit-restoring the dead to life.
Jacob had 12 sons that made up the 12 tribes know as Israel as a whole, but each tribe was called after their fathers house, from Reuben on down, and it was very common for a son that was looking for a wife to obtain one from his fathers family. Jacob/Israel was a walking talking individual that went into Egypt, but only the children of his 12 sons came out of Egypt about 400 years later.
Numbers 26:51- These were the numbered of the children of ISRAEAL, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

Like Dave pointed out the scripture “let the dead bury the dead”. Not all who are breathing are living apparently.

Is it possible the mother of all living was not meant in the literal sense?
Could she be the life giver of all, ibecause through her seed would come the true and only life giver, who would ultimately save every living soul he has ever created?
Wanda:
Thank you Joel,
Your understanding helped me rest in my own.
Dennis Vogel:
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't genealogy traced mostly thru men in the scriptures?

You're correct Dennis, the Redeemer would be a descendent (a “seed”) of Adam and Eve.
I can see how by my wording it would be confusing.
I corrected this in my other comments.
