That is what has been taught by most people. It does not, however, line up with the Gen 2-3 full story of Adam's creation, then Eve's creation, their disobedience after being lied to by the serpent, and then the discussion with God, followed by expulsion from the garden. Nowhere in that story did God tell them to be fruitful and multiply. He simply said that pain in childbirth would be increased, and that they would have to work for their sustenance.
In Gen 1, He created man and woman, presumably at the same time, and sent them out into the world to subdue it and fill it. Nowhere is there a mention of a prelude in a garden, followed by disobedience and expulsion... which is what led me to thinking that perhaps we've misunderstood how it all came about.
