A:
There is a minor fault in the story of Cain, but one that probably went unnoticed when it was being passed on orally, before finally being written down early in the first millennium BCE. Although Adam, Eve and Cain were the only people on earth, and although Cain had no logical reason to believe he would ever meet anyone else in the world, he nevertheless feared that he would be persecuted for what he had done to Abel. God placed a mark on Cain so that anyone finding him would somehow know that he was under God's protection (Genesis 4:15).

How did God punish Cain for killing Abel?
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.

Depending on what is used to make the mark, it's either HaShem's protection or condemnation.Side fact:The Christian "mark of the beast" comes from a misunderstanding of the discussion of HaShem's mark in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The letter 'vav' has the numerical value of 6 and that's where the Christians created the concept of '666'.
