Did God originally create humans male and female?


Yes.

He ... made them at the beginning made them male and female. Matthew 19:4

God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27

No, God created a man first, then animals, and then a woman.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground. Genesis 2:7

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam ... but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. Genesis 2:18-20

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Genesis 2:21-22
