Genesis 1 speaks of a single god, yhwh, creating the world, genesis 2-3 speaks of a pantheon (Elohim being literally the plural of god from Aramaic), and speaks in the plural term we. In terms of creation, in gen 1 humans were created after animals, in gen 2-3 humans were created before animals. In gen 1 man and woman were created at the same time, in gen 2-3 woman was created after man, specifically from his spare rib.
