In the Bible, Adam and Eve had two sons, no daughters. So how did they reproduce and populate the world?

The bible doesn't really say where the other people came from.

Incorrect.

(Gen 5:4) "The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters."

Ooh great correction. The things that slip my mind as the years go by are many!

Genesis 5:4 is useful for describing Adam's early posterity, but it falls short of the
very important biblical fact that he and his wife were alone, i.e. they were the only
two people on earth in the beginning, as God didn't create additional family cells
in other places all over the globe.

Gen 3:20 . . Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of
all the living.

Acts 17:25 . . From one man He made every nation of men, that they should
inhabit the whole earth.

I know of no Scripture that states. "Adam and Eve had no daughters."

The Hebrew of Genesis 1:26-27 reveals God's creation of a specific man Adam, and also creation of the races of 'mankind'.

Hebrew 'aadam' with no article = mankind in general, the races.

Hebrew eth'ha'aadam = a specific man named Adam.

So when Cain was booted because of murdering his brother Abel, the people of the "land of Nod" where Cain took a wife from were already there, because they had already been created on the 6th Day like the man Adam was. The difference was that the man Adam was formed in God's Garden to dress it. But those of the land of Nod were outside God's Garden.

Translations of some of the Babylonian cuneiform tablets by Assyriologists revealed that Sargon, a Semite, showed up at ancient Sumer around 3800 B.C. and gave the Sumerians there knowledge of the sciences, and he built their first city. I believe that may have been Cain as Sargon I, and ancient Sumer being the "land of Nod".

But that only means that after... 800 years, and after Seth, that Adam also had other sons and daughters. Adam had Seth as a replacement for Abel which Cain murdered, so it is safe to assume that Cain was kicked out to the "land of Nod" much earlier than 800 years later.
