Cain?
Is he not the son of Adam? If so why is he not listed as a descendant of Adam?

Why no Cain?
Because this section is about the descendants, not the sons.

cain is listed
Listed in Gen. 4:17-18; his wife gave birth to Enoch. It is not listed under the genealogy of Adam, because he lived in the land of NOD on the East of Eden. Completely away from any of his relations. my opinion only..

Adam's daughters
I read you website with much intereset as it gives imform ation not found in the Bible.
One subject which, like many other people, I am puzzled is who were the wives of Cain and Seth.
Understandably there must have been incest but there is no mention of daughters until after the birth of Seth. By this time Cain must have been middle aged.
Can you enlighten me?

RE: Adam's daughters
Please see Whom did Cain and Abel marry? for a discussion of that very question.
