As for Adam and Eve, I cannot make a logical conclusion about who Cain married and so forth. The bible simply does not say. Other books on this subject is questionable. This is just something I have to look forward to when I see the Lord and the many questions I ask I believe He will answer.

Cain would've married his sister. As repulsive as that sounds to us understand the antediluvian world was vastly different than today. First Adam and Eve would've been genetically perfect. They would've been more genetically identical than a brother and sister (since Eve was created from the substance of Adam) and yet they were husband and wife and had many children. Cain and Seth would've had children with one of their sisters. They all would've still been very highly superior genetically than we are today.
Several years ago Newsweek or Time one had a cover article about how geneticists determined that all living humans had descended from one female. The cover of the magazine had the title like "The Discovery of Eve" with of course an artists depiction of a half ape/half human female.
The point of the article was that geneticists discovered a common genetic element in every human being that was evidence of a common ancestor at some point in ancient history. So even those who believe in evolution would say that the descendants of that female, first-generation, would've mated with their siblings.
