John,
check your bible again... wasn't Cain was a farmer ['tiller of the ground']?
the bible is a product of an agricultural society/culture, reflecting and imposing the concerns of 600 BC and later on very much older stories.

According to Genesis, mankind started out on an essentially raw food
vegetarian diet. After the Deluge, mankind was given meat as food as well (see Gen. 9). Later additions to the diet, such as grains, did not come into play until the population had grown to the point where cities are mentioned. This occurred around the time of Babel, the cradle of civilization. Thus, God suggested fruit, vegetables, nuts, and meat. The rest was mankind's (un)doing. I was aware of this Biblical approach to diet long before Ray penned Neanderthin.
