They didn't need wives. By divine intervention, early man was able to reproduce asexually by budding, but through our corruption we have lost this gift.

Unknown. Cain evidently found a wife in "the land of Nod." Abel was slain before he could marry. There is no record of who Seth married, though it is possible that both he and Cain married their own sisters. Inbreeding would not become a problem until there had been sufficient genetic mutations in the human genome. My pet theory is that God created more than one group of humans--we are only told about Adam & Eve because they are the only ones who were important to the story God was telling. This theory also helps to explain the puzzling passage Gen 6:1-4.
