I don't know..
The fact he was naked, alone and unashamed just makes him like the rest of the beasts (except the unalone).
It is the knowleged of good and evil that rises him above the level of the beasts, and is just part of God's plan. I don't see from the text that man was created/formed/whatever on the third day at all.
Bringing in something from a later book , IMO, is irrelavent.
