This is a plot where the remainders of a group, especially an entire race, must be protected from extinction. Occasionally, the final two actually do perish, but not before producing offspring who repopulate the species. This, of course, ignores real population genetics, where a certain minimum number of genetically divergent (i.e. unrelated) individuals are needed in a gene pool to maintain a healthy genetic diversity over the generations. For humans it is an estimated 497 individuals (no joke) although 1,000+ is to be preferred. The general rule of thumb is the "50/500" guideline — that a population founded by 50 genetically diverse humans in isolation would last about 2,000 years before inbreeding did them in, while 500 or more stand a chance of lasting indefinitely so long as all of them reproduce and no major disasters wipe out a significant part of the gene pool during that time (although as with everything else involving genetics, this is a gross oversimplification and varies greatly with the conditions encountered). Needless to say, you won't find this in direct siblings. More casually, this results in the unspoken implication that said newly propagated species does not have a problem with incest. This rarely comes up. In particularly heavy-handed scenarios, the two survivors who rebirth their species will actually be named "Adam" and "Eve", or some fairly obvious variations on those names. This is sometimes called a Shaggy God Story. Literary note: the "Adam and Eve" plot is pejoratively discussed in many articles and books on writing science fiction stories. Apparently it was, for many years, one of the most over-used twist endings in the badly written stories that make up the editors' mountainous "slush pile" of wasted efforts — in fact, many editors would reject stories with this twist on sight. Usually found coupled with a New Eden in an allusion to the Garden of Eden; if some manner of vehicle or protective capsule is employed, this becomes an Ark or a City in a Bottle. Often the end result of Earth All Along. May overlap with Ancient Astronauts and/or lead to Advanced Ancient Humans. Related to Last of His Kind. Sister trope of Only You Can Repopulate My Race. While not necesarily a Discredited Trope yet, it is noted in modern times for having a Squick connotation to it not only due to the incestuous issues, but to the fact that many stories historically have had the Adam and Eve characters as not yet legal adults by modern standards, the general presumption being that they will figure certain biological things out for themselves very early and "just go with it".

Planet of the Apes: This is actually the initial plan in Planet of the Apes (1968). It's scrapped when the only female crew member dies from Cryonics Failure. Granted, it's implied that it would be partially expanded from the usual trope by there being multiple "adams". In Planet of the Apes (2001), all humans on Ashlar (the name of the planet is given in comics) are descended from the crew of the crashed Oberon, which happened over 3000 years before. The ship doesn't look big enough to contain enough humans to sustain a population for that long, especially on a world populated by hostile insectoids and dinosaurs that even the well-organized simians have trouble dealing with. |

Adventure Time has a different take on the typical Adam and Eve plot, in the episode "You Made Me!". Lemongrab refers to his creator as "his Glob" (his God.) She spends the whole episode trying to figure out how to help him. At the end of the episode, Princess Bubblegum makes Lemongrab a clone of himself, so he won't be alone. The whole plot is reminiscent of God making Eve for Adam to prevent Adam from being the only one of his kind. The whole episode revolved around existential themes, and the idea of having "the perfect mate" who makes one feel whole. Whether or not the relationship between the two Lemongrabs was romantic or platonic/brotherly love is up to the viewer. Later episodes make it clear that they view each other as brothers and address each other as such... until the first Lemongrab eats the second, making this into another Biblical story... |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony,: In Chapter 5, it is revealed that after the events of Danganronpa 3, civilization started to recover, but then the Earth got struck by meteorites that carried a deadly disease. In response, Makoto Naegi, now headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy, gathered up talented individuals who were immune to the disease (although Kaito Momota apparently was infected), and put them into a spaceship bound for another planet so that the students could repopulate humanity on a habitable world. In the final trial, however, this turns out to be a lie, as part of the storyline for the fifty-third season of Danganronpa. | |

In Rocketship Voyager, Chakotay suggests that, instead of trying to travel 70,000 light years back to Earth, they establish a Second Foundation of Man on the other side of the galaxy. Captain Janeway rejects the idea out of hand, pointing out they've barely enough people—even counting the extraterrans on their crew—to establish a viable colony, and no race bank of embryos either (she's even more shocked when Chakotay suggests they find a planet with biologically-compatible aliens). It's suggested her dislike of this idea is based on a previous captain's attempt to force his female crewmembers (including a young Ensign Janeway) to become a Baby Factory for a similar colony, sparking a mutiny that was kicked off by a crewmember called Eve hurling a red globe of firefighting powder at an officer called Adams. | |

The good ending of Odin Sphere. After The End of the World as We Know It, Oswald and Gwendolyn are the only two humans left alive and presumably, the ones who repopulate the devastated planet.

The Outpost: The entire Blackblood species were descended from one Half-Human Hybrid. This doesn't make sense for many reasons. E.g., the genes must be unrealistically dominant for them not to be bred out in the subsequent generations, absent incest which would have its own problems. However, given this is fantasy with the child's father being from a god-like otherworldly species, some magical cause is a possibility. | |

The Outer Limits (1995): The revival did this in a two-part story with the episodes "Double Helix" and "Origin of Species". The sample size was 8 students and one professor, and it is immediately pointed out that they could not possibly repopulate the planet alone. It's hand waved by the spaceship that took them into the future, which altered their genes to ensure maximum diversity and created hundreds of babies to further pad the gap. Subtly played with in the fact that both the professor and his son are exempt from being "Adams" due to a genetic disease (and are therefore vaporized), but live on as holograms to assist their friends. The episode "Phobos Rising" also hints at this plot, with the Earth possibly destroyed and only two Mars colonies with a combined population of less than fifty as survivors. Unfortunately, accidents fueling Enforced Cold War paranoia end up destroying both colonies with only a pair of defectors surviving. Subverted in the final few minutes, when the surviving pair on Mars receive a transmission from Earth, telling them that the Moon was accidentally destroyed and in the wake of the devastation on Earth, both sides have called a truce. The episode "Resurrection" takes place in a world where humanity has been replaced by robots who overthrew their former masters, who are now extinct. Two robot scientists decide to bring back humanity by illegally breeding an adult human male. They manage to keep him hidden until they can deactivate all the other robots, sacrificing their own lives in the process. The last scene shows that they have also bred an adult human female so they can repopulate humanity. Of course this still ignores population genetics, and they didn't give the guy the necessary skills to keep breeding humans artificially. |

Referenced in Half-Life 2 (one of the episodes, anyway) where the well-intentioned Dr. Kleiner mentions on the monitors previously used for Breencasts (and which are therefore presumably scattered strategically worldwide) that since the Combine suppression field that had been inhibiting pregnancies was now gone, that those so inclined might as well set about replenishing the human population. Alyx incredulously asks the question that was likely in every player's head at that moment: "Did he just tell everyone to... get busy?" | |

RWBY: One was attempted in the distant backstory. After Salem raised a rebellion against the gods, the gods wiped out all of humanity except for Salem (who they left with Complete Immortality as punishment). Humanity eventually returned, but with only a bare semblance of their old magic; Salem's lover Ozma reincarnated with them, and he still had his magic. He was supposed to redeem humanity and then summon back the gods. Salem and Ozma found each other and raised a family together, and their daughters inherited their full magic. Salem figured that rather than go to all the effort to redeem the weak and depowered humanity, they could just kill them all and replace them with their own magical children. Ozma was horrified and tried to escape with their daughters in the night, but Salem caught them, and their daughters were killed in the crossfire. | |

In Chaos Rings and its prequel Chaos Rings Ω the entire purpose of the Ark is to set one up using the best possible Battle Couple to breed humans capable of defeating an Eldritch Abomination. However, the genetic problems with this trope are addressed in the first game: in Ayuta's story, there's a bit where it's claimed that the First Couples are dropped off at an era with plenty of other humans for breeding. | |

Seven Days: The episode "Adam & Eve & Adam" has a Neutron Bomb obliterate humanity. Parker, Olga, Owlsey, & Army officer Major Jones have to journey back to Project Backstep. At one point, Owlsey kills Jones and tries to kill off Parker to start an Adam and Eve Plot with Olga. Of course, at the time, he was Ax-Crazy from radiation poisoning. Parker, per his usual shtick, must Set Right What Once Went Wrong. Several episodes feature the destruction of nearly all life on Earth. In fact, in one case, Parker is the only survivor of a plot by an alien conveniently nicknamed "Adam" and has to manually start the Sphere to backstep. |

Completely averted in Dragon Ball where in Dragon Ball Online, you find out that the last survivors of the Saiyan race, Vegeta and Goku, were unable to rebuild the Saiyan life through interbreeding with Earthlings. Saiyans are now extinct. Played straight, though, in that somehow Good Boo was able to produce an entire race of beings from just himself. And seeing as he was a creature created out of pure magic in the first place, that doesn't seem very unlikely. He probably just split into multiple pieces and let them become separate beings instead of reforming. Specifically, he read one of Mr. Satan's adult books, and through it wanted to experience love. So he ended up creating his wife (the aptly named Booby), and then hit her with a love beam, thus causing her to be impregnated with a child. And apparently over the span of a few centuries, this occurred so much it led to the creation of an entire race. Majins must have a lot of free time on their hands. |

World of Warcraft: One of the fishing dailies in Thunder Bluff is to restock the pond with fish from a nearby lake, and you have to bring back two pairs of fish, which are "randy" and "amorous". A daily quest in Howling Fjord tasks the player with playing "matchmaker" to sea lions after the death of their alpha at the player's hands. In Zandalar the albino brutosaurs are extinct aside from an older male and belligerent female. A quest line focuses on getting the two to mate. |

Homestuck: Mentioned; Dirk and Roxy are the only two living humans in a post-apocalyptic future, and Roxy, who has a crush on Dirk, entertains fantasies of the two of them repopulating the species together. Unfortunately for her, Dirk seems to be gay. It's later revealed that repopulating the Earth in this fashion isn't actually necessary since the ectobiology machines are capable of producing more people, and the new world the kids are supposed to make will already be populated once they create it. Played straighter in Homestuck: Beyond Canon. Ultimate Dirk decides to build an entirely new race on a different planet to play the next Sburb, using his and Rose's genetic codes as the basis (the added irony of both "progenitors" being gay is a bonus for him). Instead of making more humans, they instead use ectobiology to mess with the codes enough so that whatever species results from the process is as far removed from them as possible. |

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home uses the animal version of this trope. This is a bit of a Double Subversion, as the animals actually do go extinct, but Time Travel rectifies the situation by bringing back the tropal two. Also, they aren't being brought forward to breed per se but to convince an alien probe not to destroy Earth. The novelization acknowledges that two (or three) individuals aren't enough to repopulate a species, so 23rd-century scientists are going to clone additional whales from cell samples preserved before the species was wiped out. (It's said that they couldn't have restored the species just by cloning, because humpback whales have enough learned behavior that they wouldn't be able to survive without someone to teach them.) | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): A classic, and rather literal, example can be found in "Probe 7, Over and Out". An astronaut named Adam Cook crash lands on what appears to be a barren planet. Equipment failures keep him from radioing his homeworld, but he receives transmissions that indicate it has blown itself up in a nuclear war. While searching the planet, he comes across a woman, also stranded there. They can't communicate in words, but they make due by gestures and drawing in the sand. Eventually, it comes out that she's called the planet "Irth" and her name is... Eve Norda. "Two" had Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery as the (as far as we know) sole survivors — from opposite sides, no less — of a city-destroying war between two unnamed factions. Rod Serling's narration in the episode purposefully says that it could be set at any time during the past or future, and that "The signposts are in English so that we may read them more easily". |

In an abandoned The Order of the Stick storyline in the book "Don't Split The Party", Elan tries to set up Lien and Hinjo to breed a new generation of paladins. Lien and Hinjo are understandably annoyed with this because A) Elan obviously does not understand how paladins are created, B) Hinjo outranks Lien and sees it as a breach in behavior, and C) Lien already has a boyfriend, one that isn't a spoon-fed nobleman. Plus, there were "many" paladins that were away from Azure City the day of the battle (but we don't hear about them much). And many paladins don't work for Azure City. | |

This makes up roughly the first third of the sixth volume of Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix manga, Nostalgia. And while the genetic difficulties are addressed, eventually the problem is resolved when the race of aliens capable of taking on any form send a representative on the behalf of the Phoenix. This crossbreeding creates a new species of half human, half moopie. | |

In a Fans! story set After the End, Tim and cloned copies of his buddies are all that are left to repopulate the Earth. Much attempt is made for genetic diversity but the kids are naive and eventually a brother falls in love with his half-sister. Of course, Earth is just fine; "Tim" is as much a clone as the others, just with transferred memories. | |

Berserk has a purely symbolic example which ironically leads to a world changing plot, as in chapter 46, 47 and 48 Guts and Casca consummate their relationship in forest and they both remain naked together laying by a tree, while the Snake Apostle is wrecking stuff in another forest... Does This Remind You of Anything?. It becomes more literal when Guts and Casca's child born out this event is used by Griffith to become corporeal and in turn recreates the world and leading the human race to a new future. | |

In Stargate SG-1, the Alpha Site was intended to invoke this trope should an alien invasion overcome Earth's defenses. This was a real threat in the early seasons (they actually started moving personnel offworld in "The Serpent's Lair"), but the threat diminishes after Earth first gains Asgard military protection, then becomes a spacefaring power in its own right. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, it's stated that airbenders still existing is important both for the balance of the nations and so the next Avatar has someone to teach them, implying Aang would have to restore the Air Nomads with his descendants. This was lampshaded in a video at the San Diego ComicCon 2008. However, in The Legend of Korra, set 70 years later, we see even if only one parent is an airbender the children still can be: one of Aang's children with Katara (a waterbender) was an airbender, and three of his children with his non-bender wife are airbenders. (No word yet on if his youngest is one, he's only a baby after all.) However, beginning in Season 3 of Korra, some non-benders start to develop airbending abilities following the spiritual convergence, which neatly sidesteps the mating problem. | |

After the Halos had fired, these specimens were sent back to repopulate their various homeworlds. | |

Mass Effect: Averted. The last hundred or so surviving Protheans were put into stasis, but the genocide of the Protheans by the Reapers lasted centuries. In order to conserve energy, Vigil, the pseudo-AI watching over them, had to initiate a contingency program that would shut down stasis pods one-by-one, starting from the lowest ranking individuals upwards. By the time the genocide ended centuries later, only the top dozen Protheans remained, which, as Vigil pointed out, was far too few to repopulate the species.

Deconstructed in Poké Wars: The Defervescence. The Clefairy from Mt. Moon have decided to evacuate Seymour and at least one other human in the hopes of restarting humanity if they die out on Earth. However, Seymour is a childless and nerdy scientist with zero experience with dating or parenting and he rapidly starts cracking under the pressure of such weighty expectations, to the point of being utterly terrified that if he fails and humanity reaches a dead end, he'll be directly responsible for their extinction. To make matters worse, the Clefairy try to comfort him but they approach it all from a cold, logical and, well, alien perspective, which fails to comfort Seymour at all and indeed, he starts to wonder if they're just pitying him. | |

The plot of Dr. Dolittle 2 revolves around saving a forest from a logging company by getting the native female of a species of bear on the verge of extinction to mate with the only male bear of the same species that could be found. When Dolittle earlier argues that having an endangered bear in the forest should be enough to protect it, he is told that since there is only the one, the species would die out anyway. By that rationale, even getting another bear to mate should be useless for protecting the forest, since there is no way that a single mating pair would be viable for saving the species. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword ends with Link and Zelda, rather than returning to Skyloft, deciding to remain in what would eventually become Hyrule. While it's probably safe to assume they won't be the only ones to repopulate the surface (the cloud barrier between it and Skyloft has disappeared, making it possible for anyone to come), the Adam and Eve symbolism is still very apparent. | |

Superman: Pre-Crisis Krypton was, according to legend, populated by two humanoid space travelers named Kryp and Tonn. According The Krypton Chronicles, not many Kryptonians took that legend seriously, though. Also, marriage between cousins was illegal, as Kal-El mentions to Kara once. The Living Legends of Superman: In "The Exile on the Edge of Eternity"'', taking place in the far future, Superman's descendant, the last human being (possibly the last sentient being) in the whole universe find himself alone on a tropical planet after saving the universe. A female emerges from a beam of light, created from a device he used to restore the cosmos, in the middle of a valley, seemingly answering his lonely prayers. In The Immortal Superman, the Man of Steel travels to the far future and discovers Earth has become a lifeless rock after eons of wars and pollution. After terraforming Earth back into a habitable world, Superman brings one couple of humanoid aliens and their offspring to Earth so they can repopulate it. Lampshaded on Post-Infinite Crisis Daxam. While the entire Daxamite race descends from Kryptonian explorers and the original, native Aboriginal Daxamite, the whole intermingling is summarized by a single, telltale meeting: a young, male Daxamite inviting a young, sexy Aboriginal Daxamite to join him in "their beutiful new home". Despite speaking nothing but the Language of Love, the couple, and by proxy their two races, elope in the current, Daxamite race. When Vartox's people were hit with a Sterility Plague in Power Girl (2009), he asks Power Girl to help him breed the next generation. When Power Girl points out the flaws in his plan, he explains that was not what he had in mind. They cure his people's sterility instead. |

Xenoblade Chronicles X: The Orphe are reduced to a mere five individuals by the time humanity rescues them from the Ganglion. Fortunately, due to Orphe reproducing via "fission" rather than sex, there isn't any danger of inbreeding. Unfortunately, they require a specific chemical (senirapa water) to use as a catalyst for their reproduction, and they only have a few cups of it left. Once they find a way to produce more, their population grows extremely rapidly. | |

In Tensou Sentai Goseiger, The Movie involves the heroes trying to protect an "Eve" figure whose home planet was destroyed by an Artifact of Doom that the villains are now trying to get their hands on. At the end of the movie, "Adam" returns and takes her back to their planet for them to begin rebuilding their world. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: The original pilot, "The Cage", has a group of Rubber-Forehead Aliens who try to use their Lotus-Eater Machine to convince Captain Pike to play Adam for them with an Eve of his choice. The story was expanded in "The Menagerie", using footage from the pilot. The aliens, called the Talosians here, release Pike and his crew after finding that humans "have a hatred of captivity". The "Eve", named Vina here, must stay behind, however, as leaving would cause her to die from the injuries sustained by her true body that are suppressed by their technology. In the present day, with Pike being an old and invalid man, they offer to let him live with them again, where he can gain his youth and health back and live with Vina. He accepts, and it remains ambiguous whether the Plot ever succeeded. "Return to Tomorrow" has the crew encounter a disembodied creature known as Sargon, who claims that the human Adam and Eve were explorers from his race. When the humans refute this claim by citing evolution, Spock admits that the Vulcan creation myth also fits Sargon's story. |

A rather disturbing variant occurs in 28 Days Later. It's left unclear whether the leader of surviving military members at the end of the film actually believes that they can repopulate the Earth (or just Britain) with the two female survivors they have left, expects to capture more women, or simply decides to keep them to placate his unit while they wait for the end. | |

Futurama: Subverted when Leela falls in love with someone she believes to be another cyclops. Even when his personality gets to be too much to bear, Leela feels that she owes it to her species to repopulate. As it turns out, Alcazar was a shape-shifter — who had fooled four other girls. After Fry exposes him, the wedding is called off. Of course, it later turns out that Leela is really a sewer mutant. In the comics, after the Professor teleports Earth's population to the dinosaur age, minus Fry, Bender, Leela and Cubert, the Omicronians show up to salvage the uninhabited Earth, unless our heroes can display one hundred Earthlings, proving Earth still has people. This trope may have been Fry's idea, earning him a slap from Leela. |

While the entire Daxamite race descends from Kryptonian explorers and the original, native Aboriginal Daxamite, the whole intermingling is summarized by a single, telltale meeting: a young, male Daxamite inviting a young, sexy Aboriginal Daxamite to join him in "their beutiful new home". Despite speaking nothing but the Language of Love, the couple, and by proxy their two races, elope in the current, Daxamite race. | |

Subverted in the manga Eden: It's an Endless World!, where, After the End, two teenagers, Ennoia and Hana, think they're the last people alive. They've both been thinking about the inevitable a lot. After a heartfelt discussion on the matter, they decide to stay in "our Eden", but Ennoia decides that they "don't have to live our lives according to mythology. And that means when we have kids, we don't have to name them 'Cain' or 'Abel', either." As it turns out, they aren't the last people alive, but they might as well be; Most of the remaining population, which is already ridiculously minuscule, has The Virus. | |

War of the Worlds (2019): It turns out that all of the aliens are descended from Emily and Sacha's child. However, this is kind of inverted with the fact that the humans try to prevent this by going back in time. Also, unlike many examples it's a plot point that they have harmful mutations (though this gets ascribed to Emily and Sacha having genetic disorders, realistically inbreeding alone would do it in enough time). | |

An episode of Stargate Universe reveals that, thanks to a Timey-Wimey Ball, an alternate version of the Destiny crew (minus Rush and Telford) got thrown 2000 years into the past and had to set up a settlement on planet Novus. When "our" Destiny crew encounters them, they're a formerly thriving civilization of millions, forced to abandon their planet when a black hole was detected approaching the system. There is no mention of any inbreeding, although it is possible the crew's descendants have figured out how to maintain genetic diversity, even though all of them are descended from a few dozen people. | |

Doctor Who: The villain's plan in "Timelash" is essentially to cause this trope with his own planet — and he wants Peri to be his Eve. Also part of Luke Rattigan's plan to take his group of genius students to another planet in recompense for selling Earth to the Sontarans - he's even drawn up a breeding schedule! Needless to say, the one girl in the group isn't too happy with the idea. This is also a case of Fail Biology Forever. Oh so many portrayals of colonies or survival groups seem to have 100 men for each woman. Implied to be the fate of the Tellers in "Time Heist". Suggested by Clyde in The Sarah Jane Adventures episode "The Empty Planet". Rani has other ideas. |

Kamen Rider Gaim offers a twist on the concept: At the end of the series, Kouta and Mai have evolved beyond humanity and gained the power to shape the world to their will. Rather than destroying the planet he fought so hard to protect, Kouta uses his new powers to create a portal to a distant, uninhabited planet and states that that is the world he'll shape. DJ Sagara, the story's Satan analogue, urges them to "be fruitful and multiply" after openly noting the irony of his doing so. | |

Played straighter in Homestuck: Beyond Canon. Ultimate Dirk decides to build an entirely new race on a different planet to play the next Sburb, using his and Rose's genetic codes as the basis (the added irony of both "progenitors" being gay is a bonus for him). Instead of making more humans, they instead use ectobiology to mess with the codes enough so that whatever species results from the process is as far removed from them as possible. | |

Assassin's Creed II shows a different interpretation of Adam and Eve. In the games' story, humanity originally began as a slave race created by a highly evolved and technologically advanced (possibly alien) race. If you find all the glyphs and unlock the hidden video, you see a 20-second clip of Adam and Eve parkouring their way through a factory and escaping. This is closer to the Summerian Adam and Eve than the Biblical one, even before you find out that they led a human revolt against the "gods" with the help of a Piece of Eden. | |

The more practical variant (about a dozen Adams and Eves) is brought up in The Matrix Reloaded when Neo learns that the true purpose of the One is to select 21 women and 7 men who will repopulate Zion after the machines destroy it. The machines know that this will work since they've done it five times before.note And, since the residents of Zion tend to recruit people from the Matrix, they won't be limited to just those 28 people, or their descendents after enough time passes. | |

Book of Genesis: The trope namer is the story of Adam and Eve. After the first man and woman are created, God's first instructions to them is: "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth". It is noteworthy that the wording in Genesis 2, the part where Adam and Eve are introduced, comes after the creation of mankind in Genesis 1. While some hold that the story of Genesis 2 is a rephrase of Genesis 1, numerous theologians and scholars have suggested that the various inconsistenciesnote (Genesis 2 being specifically about the creation of the Garden of Eden, the order of plants, humans, and animals being brought forth differing, Genesis 1 stating male and female humans arrived at the same time vs. Eve being a product of Adam, Adam's time being specified as after the days of Creation in the original Hebrew) point to this actually not being the case and that humans already existed, with Adam and Eve being special creations. Chapter 4 identifies three children of Adam and Eve: Cain, Abel, and Seth. After Cain kills Abel, Cain moved east to the land of Nod, where he married someone and had at least one son, Enoch. Adam and Eve are also stated to have had other children, both sons and daughters. Daughters are not tracked in the Bible unless they're important; sons are only tracked if they're relevant to the plot. After The Great Flood, humanity is reduced to eight people (Noah, his wife, Noah's three sons and their wives) and all others are descended from this family. |

The Shimmer is a psychedelic Garden of Eden where they encounter an alien creature which bestows upon them new knowledge (although the knowledge is incomprehensible to human minds). At the end of the film, the Shimmer collapses and, depending on your interpretation, Lena and Kane are the last remnants of the alien's DNA, thus beginning a new species. | |

In one of the later ElfQuest stories, a small family of trolls find themselves stranded in a country where there are no other trolls. Flash forward a few thousand years and there are lots of trolls running around. Incest is hinted at but never stated outright. | |

In Titan A.E., when the hero and heroine find the eponymous ship, onboard are genetic samples for long-destroyed Earth's species. Also, in a way, they are a symbolic "Adam and Eve". However, they do not need to populate the new world, mankind has been scattered across the galaxy and thus, they only need to call humans to the new planet. But who says that they won't anyway? | |

This is touted as an actual newspaper headline, in the vein of the stuff sent in to The Tonight Show With Jay Leno for his "headlines" segment: Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over.note This is the kind of headline you'd find on Fark, actually | |

Gall Force: The Gall Force: Eternal Story OVA focuses around a crew of a space ship consisting of a One-Gender Race named the Solonoids who are racing to claim a new homeworld and the Paranoids, an enemy alien race. One character is absorbed into an alien gelatinous mass and she ends up becoming pregnant via a Face Full Of Alien Wingwong. The cast surgically remove it, thinking it's an infection, and it rapidly grows into an Opposite-Sex Clone. He and one girl end up being the last two survivors by the end, and go on to produce the entire human race. | |

The CCR5-Delta 32 mutation is descended from Europeans during the time of the Black Death. It's theorized that those that had the mutation then were immune to the disease, thus after it passed, a significant number of Europeans left had the mutation. It's almost unknown in African and indigenous American populations, but about 10% of European-descended humans have the mutation. It would be unremarkable now, except that if you have two parents with the mutation, you have immunity to some strains of HIV, for now. (Wikipedia has more under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCR5#HIV .) | |

Lampshaded in Evangelion post-Third Impact fanfic Orchestrating the Silence: Shinji points out there is nobody in the world other than Asuka and him, and Asuka refrains herself from chewing him out for a "lame Adam and Eve comparison". | |
