Back to Genesis 4:15-17 again, dezmodnar pointed out that 'nod' is really a mistranslation of 'fugitiveness'. Yet, the land of 'fugitiveness' is clearly stated to lie to the east of Eden, and was clearly already inhabited. If it weren't, Cain would not have needed a mark to keep people from killing him (you also have to wonder how people would know what the mark meant, or why they would kill him if they didn't already know what killing was about).
