Well, it's evening somewhere... lol
Mankind was created on the sixth day, but Adam was created after the first Sabbath. The creation accounts in ch 1 and ch2 of Genesis are different, presenting a clearly different and contrary account in each chapter, and therefore cannot be reconciled as two descriptions of the same event, nor is either account clearly symbolic or mythological. Therefore, they each describe a different series of events.
Cain was worried about strangers killing him because he was a nomad. He married and had a son and built a city. Building a city implies other people. His mark implies other people. The two creation accounts imply other people. Therefore, I conclude there were other people.
The primary objection people have is either theological, or philosophical. The theological objection is based on the erroneous belief that sin is a substance inhering in physical human nature, inherited by natural procreation. To avoid the obvious conclusion that Jesus was a born sinner, either Immaculate Conception or Divine Flesh is invoked, both of which are errors. The objection claims that anyone not descended from Adam would be born free of sin and not needing salvation. The objection wholly disappears when the voluntary nature of sin is accepted, as per the Bible, and the gnostic-catholic doctrine of an inherited sin nature is rejected.
The philosophical argument is based on Enlightenment humanistic egalitarianism, and is thus of no concern to me.
