1a. An opinion

Certainly, given evolution's premise of a one-celled thing, the first reproduction must have been asexual. Do you think that early human prototypes evolved the capability to reproduce with male/female exactly the same way, multiple times? I think it would be much more likely (not that I think it's very likely! ) for it to evolve once.

2. The genetic variation among different humans versus the genetic variation between a parent and off-spring is much greater.
What about over multiple generations?

Yes, given that mutations occur. The idea is that mutations were much less common back then, and the prohibition against marrying siblings came much later. Anyway, just some guesses about what might have happened to make it work, exactly like evolutionists make. By definition, none of us know what happened in pre-history! We're all making educated guesses.
