On the Streets of Babylon: Pre-Adamite Theory Heard on the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..
Come out of her, My people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to the old "Pre-Adamite Theory" Heard on the Streets" heard on the Streets of Babylon...

"New Testament scholar N.T. Wright shared more about his long-standing position on the early chapters of Genesis, offering that not only is it poetry that is not to be taken literally, but that “Adam” and “Eve” were simply a primal pair of hominids (a type of primates that first appeared 5-7 million years ago) living among other hominids when “some strange force or power” called to be a part of “the human” project.
When previously commenting on Genesis 3, Wright, who is a Darwinian evolutionist who believes the earth is millions of years old, has said: "…

But it seems to me that just as God called Abraham and Sarah out of a welter of wandering nations and said I’ve got aspecial purpose for you, the way that I see it is that God called one pair of hominids and said “OK, this place is a bit chaotic, you and I together, we’re going to have a project. We’re going to plant this garden and we’re going to go out from here and this is how it’s going to be.” So when Cain goes off he founds a city. Excuse me, who else is in the city? I wonder whether we are right even to treat the young-earth position as a kind of allowable if regrettable alternative, something we know our cousins down the road get up to but which shouldn’t stop us getting together at Christmas…And if, as I suspect, many of us don’t think of young-earthism as an allowable alternative, is this simply for the pragmatic reason that it makes it hard for us to be Christians because the wider world looks at those folks and thinks we must be like that too?"
