“I will greatly multiply
Your pain in childbirth,
In pain you shall deliver children;” Genesis 3:16

Is it possible that Cain was the offspring of the Serpent and Eve? Is it possible that Cain had a smaller head than Abel? Is it possible the curse on Eve became operable after Cain was born? Is it possible that Cro Magnun Man was Cain and his descendants? Maybe, maybe not. These are just pure speculations, but it is interesting to read between the lines as the Genesis account appears to be very spare and missing significant details. For example,

“When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.” Genesis 3:6

Eating fruit makes one wise? Does that make any sense? Healthy maybe, but wise?

“Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;” Genesis 1:29

Why the emphasis on seed? “and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15

Here we go again with seed, this time the curse on the serpent.
