Cain fears every one that findeth me, and builds a city.
In plain words
Cain fears that anyone who finds him will kill him, and he builds a city. Both need other people. Genesis is the story of one line, never the whole human field, and the record shows that field was crowded.
The mechanism
THE BEACHHEAD — scripture is the story of one line, never the whole field, which is why other hominids never threatened the record
