Bottlenecks ARE traceable and they show all men going through one women (Eve) about 20-50 thousand years ago and again, through one man (Noah) about 10-20 thousand years ago.

And did God create more then one man and woman? If not there was no choice but for sibling to marry sibling.

I've seen this explained as creation of the Adamic race, separate from the other races, which explains a lot; jury's swaying that way...

There is no evidence for a "Adamic" race just as there is no evidence for a steady-state universe JUST AS their is NO evidence for a hollow Earth.

On a side note there is a tiny bit of evidence for man interbreeding with neanderthal.

Well, there are actually a number of distinct species commonly known as "neanderthals" and while none of them would be considered to be "attractive" most normal human standards, they didn't look like apes either and were close enough genetically to make interbreeding possible.
