5. We all descended from 8 people: Noah, his 3 sons and their wives.

6. That would actually be 8 for a different reason

Noah, Mrs. Noah, and the three daughters-in-law.

Edit: I posted too quickly. That would be Noah, Mrs. Noah, and the three couples who were the parents of the daughters-in-law (assuming they were not sisters).
