Gen:5:4: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.
Adam and Eve lived for hundreds of years, and had many children throughout those years. We are not told exactly when during those years Cain killed Abel, but a significant period of time passed since their birth because they were fully grown( we know this because they offered their own sacrifices rather than Adam offering sacrifice for them
"3: And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD." Notice that the verse begins by saying in the process of time. )
Cain and Abel are chiefly mentioned because of their importance to carry forward the faith being the eldest children( some scholars believe they were twins because conception is only mentioned once for the both of them"1: And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 2: And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ") Therefore, Cain was afraid of his brethren, the other children of Adam and Eve. Also, if you ever wondered who Cain's wife was, it was one of his sisters, which was not unusual at that time if you remember that Abraham married his half sister Sarah.
Gen:20:12: And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

How did the first murder in the bible affect the attitude of the second murder in the Bible?
After Cain killed Abel (the first murder in the Bible), he was very afraid that other people would kill him because of what he had done. To protect him, God marked Cain and said that if anyone killed him, that person would be repaid seven times over. The second murder in the Bible was committed by Lamech, a descendant of Cain. Lamech had apparently heard about the mark that was put on his ancestor, and Lamech (not God) told his wives that "if Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold." Thus, the protection given to Cain because of his fear of the consequences of his wickedness inspired Lamech to boast about his own. == ==

What was in Africa during the days of Cain and Abel?
A:The difficulty is in comparing science and history with a purely religious story. The Bible says that Cain and Abel were born some six thousand years ago, and there should have been no other living person (in spite of Cain's fear that "everyone" would want to kill him). What scientists do know is that Africa teemed with game and that African people occupied the entire continent long before the time of Cain and Abel. In fact, Africa was the birthplace of humanity.

What was the sin of Cain?
From the Hebrew scriptures, in the 4th chapter of Genesis, we read that Cain, son of Adam, murdered his brother Abel out of jealousy and was cursed by God with a two-fold penalty: first, that he would be forever homeless, without roots or family or friends; the second was that any attempt to farm or harvest would prove mostly fruitless. However, God did give him a mark/sign/warning/omen that would both identify him and also serve as a warning to anyone who would contemplate killing him.Post-destruction Jewish scholars speculated that the first curse entailed a physical deformity of one kind or another, and Armenian & Syrian Christians interpreted the curse as black skin. In later centuries American protestants (and some European protestants), especially the Baptist tradition, used this interpretation to justify segregation, exclusion from ministry, and other racist treatment against people of African descent. The Mormon religion (Latter Day Saints) also had institutional bans against people of African descent, and in 1978 changed its doctrine.
