Understanding GAE: Why would an evolving humanity need a "special creation" of Adam and Eve?

Note that these reasons don’t necessarily assume any single GAE model, and might even assume different ones

True. #1, for example, assumes a genetic A&E, not a genealogical one.

I would also quibble with #4: Eve coming from Adam’s rib doesn’t make her an equal partner; it makes her a subordinate helper. The symbolism is hard to avoid.
