There are actually two different creation stories in Genesis, the first one by the author now known as the Priestly Source and the second by an author now known as the Yahwist.

Adam and Eve were certainly the first people on earth in the second creation story but, as Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says, we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa. Thus, the first people from Genesis 1:26 have no place in the second creation story, while Adam and Eve have no place in the first creation story.
