I think the accepted idea is that Cain married a relative, which wasn't such a faux pas in those days. Cain and Able lived later than Adam and Eve anyway, so it's possible that there were more people around. But it's all a moot point anyway, as that part of the bible is almost all metaphorical (or so you must believe if you wish to be taken seriously by logical people).
