Kuchokera mwa munthu mmodzi [Adamu], Mulungu “anapanga mtundu wonse wa anthu, kuti akhale padziko lonse lapansi.” (Machitidwe 17:26) Mkazi wa Adamu yemwe dzina lake ndi Hava, anakhala “mayi wa munthu aliyense wamoyo.” (Genesis 3:20) Choncho, Kaini ayenera kuti anakwatira mmodzi mwa ana amene Adamu ndi Hava anabereka.
