(two humans do, in some of the narratives....though that may be later christian influence, as the very popularity of the ragnarok episode may be in it;s entirety...that might have once been a minor outlying story, a minority report; the story can -but doesn't have to- end with two people emerging from a hidden place, a tree, a garden - etc)
The norse myths didn't get written down much until after christians came along, so there's some christian influence in the myths. Christians were fond of taking things from other religions to help conversions, and twisting other religions to fit better with their beliefs.
