According to Genesis 4:22, Cain's descendents were the the first people on earth "who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron". They opened up the idea of warfare and strife. And because of Cain's original sin (killing his brother, Abel), it can be determined that Cain's kids didn't live wonderful, blessed lives in God's favor.

On the other hand, Seth's descendents were quite different. Pay attention to Genesis 4:26, "Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the LORD."

There is a clearly an immediate difference. Cain's descendents will be wanderers (Gen. 4:14) and begin to make tools possibly for war, while Seth's descendents begin calling on the name of the Lord.

There is no way to know with certainty the exact percentage. God took from Cain the ability to till the ground productively and made him a wandering vagabond.

What happened to Cain and Seth?

Cain moved away married and had many children. I think the place he moved to was called the land of Nod? Non Canonical Books say that Cain was accidentally killed in a hunting accident. The Flood probably killed all of Cain's Decendents unless any of the three women Noah chose as wives for His Sons Shem, Ham and Japeth Were descendants of Cain but I doubt it. The Bible just says that "Noah chose three women to be wives for his three sons" Abel, I hope is asleep waiting to be resurrected. Seth is in the Geneology of Jesus. I believe that the book of Luke traces Jesus' genealogy back through Seth to Adam. So Seth had children.


Why did Cain and Seth have three descendants with the exact same name?

We do find several descendants of Cain with the same name as those of Seth, subject to translation of the original spelling:Adam ............................................. Adam........................................................ Seth........................................................ EnosCain ............................................... Cainan (Cain)Enoch ............................................ Mahalaleel (Mehujael)Irad ................................................ Jared (Irad)Mehujael ....................................... Enoch (Enoch)Methusael ..................................... Metheluselah (Methusael)Lamech ......................................... Lamech (Lamech)This would be more apparent in the above comparison if the order of Mahalaleel, Jared and Enoch are reversed. The reason is no doubt the syncretism of two originally separate traditions.
