Answer 1

Not a JW.

There is a slight misunderstanding of the first chapter of Genesis particularly by Christians.

There are three different forms (in Hebrew) used in the bible attached to "Adam".

Adam = mankind/humans

ha Adam = Adamic people

eth ha Adam = Adam of Adam and Eve

note:

the differences in the two translations below.

note:

the word "them" this is plural and state God created mankind plural. Many different people were created.

note:

humans were created and both male and female at the same time.

NAS

Genesis 1:

26

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Clarified

Genesis 1:

26

Then God said, “Let Us make humans in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the wild beasts and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 God created humans in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

*

The First two chapters of Genesis are two different stories.

The first chapter explains creation in general including Mankind all the different peoples and both male and female and as verse 27 says all over the earth.

*

The second chapter explains the specific story of Adam of Adam and Eve. A specific group of people that Jesus would come through and be called the "last Adam".

*

Not only Adam was formed other "Adamic" people were created:

Genesis 5:

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

Cain-

Cain's wife in the "land of Nod" most likely from Nod:

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.

_____

The bible does not say that Cain married a women from a city but that after Cain married "a woman from the land of Nod" Cain built a permanent settlement /city.

It is pretty obvious there were other people created by God Almighty when the bible is taught and understood correctly.
