This is a Biblical reference [see Genesis 2:21-22]. The story told in The Quran is very different, as both male and female were created from one soul, not one before the other:

Creation of mankind is further discussed in the following verses [3:59, 6:2, 6:133, 11:61, 15:26, 22:5, 21:30, 23:12, 24:45, 29:19-20, 32:7-8, 37:11, 55:14, 71:14, 76:1, 76:28]. The sequence of events resembles an evolutionary process, but with God as the initiator and sustainer, with mankind being given unique qualities at a point in time when ready.
