People have said that there were other people in other lands for the sons of Adam to marry. Who were they? Are they still here? Were they the Chinese? Indians? Europeans?
Does the Bible say that Adam's offspring went that far or did they stay in the Middle East?

Humans were humans such as Adam and Eve, and then there is a sub-category of humans, who were not actually humans, but were Neandrothals. I believe that there was not evolution (humans evolving from Neandrothals), and that the Neandrothals died out but possibly cohabitated with the human species while they were still living. There is a debate on whether they interbred with humans, however, goto this website for further information http://www.livescience.com/othernews/060508_human_evolution.html

Genesis 4:17 says, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch." Who was his wife? It is implied in the biblical text that Cain married one of his sisters. Several facts lead us to this conclusion.
First, it is clear that Adam and Eve had a number of children. Genesis 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters." Since Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, and since God had commanded them (and their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), it seems reasonable to conclude that Cain married one of his many sisters. It is also possible that he married a niece or even a grandniece.
One must keep in mind that in the early years of the human race there were no genetic defects that had yet developed as a result of the fall of man. By the time of Abraham, God had not yet declared this kind of marriage to be contrary to His will (see Genesis 20:12). Laws governing incest apparently did not become enacted until the time of Moses (Lev 18:7-17; 20:11,12,14,17,20,21). Hence, there was no prohibition regarding marrying a sister (or niece or grandniece) in the days of Cain.

All of man-kind started from Adam and Eve. No other human life on earth at that time.
God created all man-kind.
