The evidence is that "sacrificial rites" were laid upon Adam and Eve's children for the sins that they imposed upon their future descendants.
Eve: "...conceived, and bare Cain... and she bare his brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground..." (Gen.4:1-2).
In the sacrificial rites that eventually became re-instituted among the Israelites and recorded in The Bible... (even Noah and Abraham sacrificed) both "animals" and "grain" were used in the ceremony. That same Bible tells us that both Abel and Cain MADE OFFERINGS UNTO THE LORD with the fruits of their professions.
"...in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground AN OFFERING UNTO THE LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the FIRSTLINGS OF HIS FLOCK and the FAT THEREOF. And the Lord had RESPECT UNTO ABEL AND TO HIS OFFERING: but unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect..." (Gen.4:3-5).
It's anyone's guess as to the "attitude" the brothers brought to the sacrifice... but it says that: "...Cain was very wroth..." as a result of it. (verse 5)
"...for thou desirest not sacrifice... the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit (sorrowful repentance, humility): a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." (Ps.51:16-17)
It's doubtful that Cain went in "contrite."
Abel, however, was evidently more in keeping with God's acceptable attitude:
"...by faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts..." (Heb.11:4).
But it may also have been the TYPE of sacrifice he offered. Something which a "grain offering" could not match - the BLOOD of the lamb:
"...almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." (Heb.9:22)
I have to say that Adam and Eve's children pretty much knew about their parent's lives.
Adam lived 930 years. You would think at some point in that time his kids would have asked him why they were so burdened with the hassle of this sacrifice business.
They may even have asked him, repeatedly, to explain himself.
