What did Jesus mean when He said: "But at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female." Mark 10:6 NIV. Can you please parse that for me. What does Jesus mean by "at the beginning of creation"? What does He meann by male and female? Did God create troglidites or hominids or something?

Okay, I'll parse it out. Please understand that this is my own personal interpretation, and by no means am I asking or even expecting you to accept it as correct.

But at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
God instilled the souls of Adam and Eve into their bodies, as the first man and first woman of the creation of the physical existence of Man.

What does Jesus mean by "at the beginning of creation"?
In this context, He meant the creation of the physical existence of God's children upon the Earth.

What does He meann by male and female?
That Adam was made male and Eve was made female.

Did God create troglidites or hominids or something?
Yes. And birds, fish, trees, mushrooms, and those annoying little gnat-things that buzz in your ear.
