If my memory serves me I read that Adam lived for 930 years. I imagine in that amount of time you could produce many children.
In order to multiply like God said. So that means that brothers were with sisters, cousins all the way down the line. There were no laws about being with relatives then because they were listening what God told them. So if you really look at it and believe it, as I do, we are still all brothers and sisters and Adam and Eve were our parents.

No one knows how many kids Adam and Eve had, the People then had lots and lots of kids, because they lived hundreds of years, SO it could be that they reproduced with their own brothers and sisters. I don`t know, but the Bible said their were giants then, so whats the ooops for, man lived longer, animals , and man were giants then were just little people now...anyways its all gonna come out one day, and you will have your answers to why this and why that. If we all came from Adam and Eve, wouldn`t that mean were all stll brothers and sisters?

Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters. Unfortunately all of them were born after they stole from the tree of knowledge and were flawed. Adam lived almost 1,000 years. We do not know much about the other children he had but when they are resurrected, we can get to know them if we come to know God and obey him right now.

Where did Cain get his wife? Adam “became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain took one of his sisters or perhaps one of his nieces as a wife. Later, God’s Law to the Israelites did not permit the marriage of a fleshly brother and sister.—Leviticus 18:9.
One might think that after the murder of Abel, only his guilty brother Cain and their parents, Adam and Eve, were left on the earth. However, Adam and Eve had a large family. According to Genesis 5:3, 4, Adam had a son named Seth. The account adds: “The days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.” So Cain married his sister or perhaps one of his nieces. Since mankind was then so close to human perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the health risks that may imperil the offspring of such a union today.
Adam was cast out of Eden into an unsubdued earth that was cursed to produce thorns and thistles, there to sweat out an existence, harvesting the bitter fruits of his sin. Outside the garden, awaiting death, Adam fathered sons and daughters, the names of only three being preserved—Cain, Abel, and Seth. To all of his children Adam passed on hereditary sin and death, since he himself was sinful.—Ge 3:23; 4:1, 2, 25.
Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. At Genesis 4:1, 2 we read: “In time [Eve] gave birth to Cain and said: ‘I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah.’ Later she again gave birth, to his brother Abel.” As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?
The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces. At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.
Seth may not have been the third child of Adam and Eve. According to Genesis 5:4, Adam had “sons and daughters,” some of whom may have been born before Seth. Seth is worthy of note because Noah, and through him the present-day race of mankind, descended from him, not from the murderous Cain. At the age of 105 years Seth became father to Enosh. Seth died at the age of 912 years.

I don't think it's as mysterious as you seem to want to make it. Just because other groups aren't mentioned doesn't mean there weren't other groups of people. We are talking about God here. He tends to be a bit less narrow minded than some other beings. In this area of the Bible other groups are mentioned very quickly afterward. They wouldn't really be big enought to be "groups" if they hadn't had their beginnings at an earlier time.

Cain met people.. people who seem to come out of nowhere.. Adam must not be the name of a man, but the name of man.
