If you actually read the Bible you would know that Cain went to the land of Nod to find a wife.
How were there other people on the earth at that time?
I'll answer after you do.....

No answer?
No answer from either TA or JDC?
It's in the story. What is the explanation?

Doesn't it actually say that he went to the land of Nod where he "knew" his wife - i.e., where they had sexual relations and where she bore children?

Yes, that's all it reads, George. Nothing less. Nothing more.
But, it doesn't say anything about his wife, until his abode is in the Land of Nod.

Since Adam and Eve had no daughters yet, it seems Nod was alive with humans.

Maybe the girls from Nod were soulless Neanderthals, cute, but good with a rolling pin!
I wonder if a son of Adam and Eve, being a Man and having a soul, having mated with the soulless Neanderthal from Nod, gave rise to a Halfghani?

You might interpret it that way but Genesis 5:4 tells us that Adam and Eve 'begat sons and daughters.' There is no reason to assume that those births only happened after Cain went to live in Nod other than that Genesis 5:4 follows the story of Cain's departure from Adam and Eve in Genesis 4. If you are looking for reasons to try to discredit the Creation narrative, you may just haveto look elsewhere.

Genesis 4
16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17 Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.
THEN after the birth of SETH:
Genesis FIVE
3 When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he [b]became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. 4 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.
Context is everything, especially for fundamentalists.

These people refuse to read the very Book that they call "Truth."
Then, when they encounter Truth, if it reveals an inconsistency in their interpretation of that which they have refused to read in the first place, they deny the Truth rather than deny their interpretation of what they have not read.
Their behavior can only be characterized as fully-illumined, deliberate ignorance.
As Jesus said, "...But if that Light be Darkness, Oh, how great is that Darkness!"
