Adam and Eve initially had two children, Cain and Abel. After Cain killed Abel, and was cursed to wander, Adam and Eve conceived another child named Seth. These sons are explicitly named in Genesis, although it does state that there were other sons and daughters as well (Genesis 5:4).

According to the Bible all humans on Earth are descendants of Adam and Eve. Their sons Cain and Seth create two separate lineages of human life on Earth. Cain and Seth would each have had sexual intercourse with a female of their immediate family (mother or sister) to propagate the subsequent generation. God did not prohibit these necessarily [[Incest|incestuous]] relations at that point in human history but did so later, as conveyed in Leviticus.

Cain and Seth would each have had sexual intercourse with one of their sisters (or nieces) to propagate humanity. [[Incest]] is normally a problem because of the likelihood of both parents passing on the same genetic defects to their offspring, but in this case the genetic defects would not have had time to occur, so would not have been a problem.
