Were there people before Adam and Eve?

The Bible tells us that there are people already before Adam and Eve appeared. Is there something else that was already there before them?

God first created man in His image as Adam then He created Eve to be Adam’s help meet.

The Bible says no place that I can find that there are people already BEFORE the creation of Adam.
That doesn’t mean God could not raise humans from the dust with a word within seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks or years of creating Adam and Eve.

So, can you please guide me to the book, chapter and verse/s you are claiming are in the Bible when you say that:

the Bible tells us that there are people already before Adam and Eve appeared?

I ask, because I’ve read it (the Bible) and haven’t found that. Thank you!

No people before Adam and Eve. The Bible tells us the first man is Adam.

I believe there is no other people before Adam and Eve. You can see the Genealogies in the Bible. The first man is Adam.

No.
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

I think no. Because the Bible records that Adam is the first human. So there is no other human before Adam and Eve.
