Doesn't seem too complicated -- Probably Abraham had a library bequeathed to him with a handful of legends and family documentation that make up the bulk of Gen 1-11. A duplicate or two-fold version of the creation story makes sense. It would have been handed down through Isaac and Jacob and later compiled by Joseph in a book. Otherwise Moses gathered Gen 1-11 stories from a priest's library in Egypt, and/or completely relied on God's inspiration for composing a pre-Abrahamic history.

Probably was a combination of all this. Any scenario is fascinating to imagine.
