This is a book of charts. Apart from being a visual aid for us as we look through the lens of Scripture, the only reading portions include pages 5 - 10 and 279 - 281. That's it! The rest is purely to be served as a visual reference that shows the reader what Cain meant when he said in Genesis 4:14, "...whoever finds me will kill me..."
I believe that he is not just referring to mom and dad and maybe a few brothers and sisters, but a city with the population into the thousands! Cain was indeed fearful for his life that an avenger would come to take it from him, but God had mercy on Cain and rescued him from the avenger's hand.
See this book as a conservative and theoretical viewpoint. There is no direct number in the text given for the population at the time of Abel's death, but I believe that Cain implied baby booming type generations and we should see his fear as legitimate.
