And who did Cain build cities for ?

When God Marked Cain who was going to kill him ?

You do realize that 130 years passed before Cain killed Abel, don't you?

A lot of people can be born in that time.

Especially if they were blessed with fertility and told to multiply on the earth.

As for his wife, she was born of Eve. Incest wasn't a thing back then.
Keep in mind that when the births are mentioned as to who was born to whom, notice that none of them are women. So it could also be asked where anyone else besides Cain got their wives as well. But women were obviously born, including to Eve. They just aren't mentioned in scripture.

Interesting.

So-called "Neanderthals" came afterwards; starting in Moses' time.

Deuteronomy 28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

Couple thousand for sure.
Has anyone considered the Garden was separate from the world of man for a time and the Torah perhaps refers to a 'special' race that lived there?

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Ocotmom would have been envious.

Has anyone considered the Garden was separate from the world of man ...

Here's what the earth would have looked like in Adam's time:

... for a time and the Torah perhaps refers to a 'special' race that lived there?

Then the Torah was wrong.

Could these have been the people from Genesis 1:26 ?

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Song of songs-"I came into My garden, My sister, My bride."

Where is the garden?

And when did He come there?

The Midrash Rabbah indentifies the location as Planet Earth.

Also it does not say a garden, but My garden.

Not answers to your questions but to shed a little light.

Read it as a spiritual text instead of a literal text. What does the text say about God, humanity, and the world? Search for the evergreen and you won't get hung up in brambles.

No one.

Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

The death penalty hadn't been instituted as yet.

It came after the Flood.

Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
