Ancient humans lived for a LONG time, anywhere between 600-1,000 years. Noah lived for 950 years. Meanwhile human pregnancy is only 9 months.
Could be wrong but lets say the time to maturity remained the same as modern humans but the prime of ancients humans were 16-300 years. Imagine how many children could be conceived in the span of 284 years. If ancient humans kept their fertility to 500 years then thats 484 years of multiplying from a single couple.
After only 18 years your first children would be married and multiplying. You’d witness generations after generations grow up in your household over the course of centuries.
Its extremely likely that during the life of Cain and Abel there were multiple generations who spread across the land. The Bible also does not state the number of Adam’s descendants so we may never know how big the first family was before Adam’s death.
