man was alone he needed a helpmate (and something to scrag besides sheep) so he was placed asleep and a rib was removed to make woman. So in modern terms an operation was done and a clone was made without one essensial chromosone. Now Man doesnt remember his own creeation, perhaps an infinct ape was anestetized and and viral dna inserted then grew aware that he was "different".

That explains apes and men and ID quite nicely I think and the timing fits the sages timelines.
