I am not sure where you are going with this. Wouldn't there be some intermediate generations in which, unlike our present generation, not all individuals would be descended from the particular individual you have picked out to have the role of Adam??

Yes, that's true.? But I'm trying to explore the limits of the concerns David has regarding systematic theology.? The concern is how the imago dei and the fallenness were transmitted from "Adam", whether literal or figurative.? As far as I can tell,?it shouldn't be a problem -- within the mechanics of those systematic theologies -- if the situation above ever existed.?
