The descent from Adam issues forth two radically different lineages: that of Cain and that of Seth. We are told to revile Cain, but it is to Cain that the Bible attributes the building of the first city. It is Cain's descendants Jabal and Jubal who initiate the domestication of cattle and invent musical instruments, and their descendant Tubal who invents metallurgy. As for Seth, those who worship the philosophy of handicapping eagerly claim him as an ancestor, but the Bible attributes not a single great accomplishment to either Seth or any of his descendants prior to Noah, who is the antithesis of the handicapped ideal. There are two lines of Man. Let us claim the one of city-builders.
