The opening of ASKJTF this week takes a non-literal allegorical approach to the first few chapters of Breishit/Genesis.
One of the main forces behind the non-literal approach is based on questions raised by science. The following are links to 2 articles that tries to be science friendly while retaining the literal approach to the first few chapters of Breishit/Genesis The Creation of Adam from Dust and the Theory of Evolution http://www.vilnagaon.org/book/Adam_from_dust_and_the_theory_of_evolution.html (http://www.vilnagaon.org/book/Adam_from_dust_and_the_theory_of_evolution.html)
The Sequence of The 6 Biblical Days of Creation In Light of Science http://www.vilnagaon.org/book/science-creationdays2.html (http://www.vilnagaon.org/book/science-creationdays2.html)

Yes, there were people before Adam. They were Halachically like apes. But Adam was a real person. He was the first person with a soul. Regardless of how he was conceived, don't you agree he was a real person? Noah was also a real person regardless of whether you believe the Flood literally destroyed the whole World. All the names listed in the line from Adam to Abraham were also real people.
