I don't know, but I have found a paper (see also) (UPDATE and also this and this) that I mean to dive into at some point. If it checks out, then one aspect of the Christ-centered model for early Genesis had what they call in the science business "predictive power". That is, you hypothesize that some pattern or thing might exist if your idea is correct and then what you predicted is found in the field.
Because Genesis chapter six speaks of the "Daughters of ha-Adam" being found suitable as wives by the "Sons of God" I have been looking for a certain pattern in Archaeology. I was looking for a female mtDNA type from Anatolia which was mixed with males in seminal farming and pastoral cultures. Basically I was looking for "the daughters of Adam" who were "suitable" for marriage to the chieftains of surrounding tribes for the knowledge they could bring to the table. A part of my thesis is that Adam received knowledge during his time in the garden, along with access to more domesticated versions of plants and animals. He had a role in "jump starting" a better way of life- just as Christ has done. He is like a figure of Christ in the material realm. Sure enough, this paper is reporting on just such an mtDNA group - H2a1. See also this one.
UPDATE NOTE: I say "Was Eve H2a1?" but it is also possible that she was a bearer of just H2a and the subtype H2a1 simply was that of her female descendants who were taken as wives by "the sons of God" and produced the "mighty men".
From my initial study of the paper, females from this line mixed with males from surrounding cultures which carried these advanced lifestyles all the way to the Atlantic. The paper also associates them with medical practices, as if they were an almost shamanistic class of female healers. I have been looking for evidence of "Strong Women" in the cultures which spread far and wide with the help of knowledge of advanced practices. Read the papers yourself and make your own decisions, but my first take is this fits the profile I described in my book.
