I seem to have found reason to wonder if Adam and Eve human ancestry is the most logical Biblical interpretation even though it might be the most common. Genesis 1-2 seem equally reasonably interpreted as crediting Adam and Eve with either human ancestry or Israeli ancestry. However, Genesis 4 seems to most logically weigh in favor of Adam and Eve's Israeli ancestry with God directly creating other humans that the Bible might not report. To clarify, if Cain and Abel were Adam and Eve's only children and Cain killed Abel, multiple human creations by God seems to be the only way that seems to occur to me thus far for the other vengeful humans from which Cain seems to express the need to be protected in Genesis 4:14. Consequently, perhaps the Adam/Eve human ancestry issue is resolved.

Perhaps fortuitously, Genesis 4:14 seems to possibly also resolve the Noah "earth-wide flood" issue. To me, a reasonable flood theory seems to be that the phrase "the earth" as used in Genesis 6 might be intended to refer to the bounds of the generally-inhabited region, rather than the entire planet. To me, Genesis 4:14 seems to use the phrase in that way since it seems unlikely for Cain to fear being removed from planet Earth and being killed by anyone, unless Cain was afraid of being killed by extra-terrestrials while Cain was away from planet Earth. The more reasonable interpretation seems to be that Cain feared being deemed a murder-related social outcast, and possibly killed by others as such. Therefore, perhaps Noah's flood of "the earth" is suggested to have only taken place over a limited area, apparently rendering moot the apparent flood and animal procession issues of a planet-wide deluge.
