What is the Quranic / Islamic view on Adam and how the earth became populated?

In Christianity it’s commonly referred to as Adam’s children marrying each other which doesn’t exactly make sense due to incest.

And it also doesn’t fully align with science and the fact that there were earlier hominids on earth.

From what I gather, the Quran is pretty adamant on Adam being the first human - but how do we reconcile that:

  1. It potentially doesn’t align with what we know scientifically about human evolution on earth

And

  1. 2 people populating the earth with their children and their children only is incest?
