1 The 2nd origins narrative says that animals were formed after the human.
2 The way I study the Bible is by pericopes, not doing this leads to the potential for mixing verses from different pericopes into a mishmash. This is done a lot, but it not a good practice. It is not that a mishmash is always the result, sometimes it is not, but one needs to be careful and I think the best way to be careful is to deal with each pericope separately. I am not cutting up anything by letting each pericope be its own story on its own terms; God could have inspired a seamless single narrative creation/origins story but did not do so.
P.S. The 4 gospels DO have seemingly contradictory things in them, as I am sure you know, even tho we know they are describing the same person, Jesus. Atheists love to point these out. My point is when we find seemingly contradictory things in text, there are various ways to address this; and we might find that we differ on how we do this.
