Adam is the original "root" גזע of the entire human race. Unfortunately the original root had a new tree grafted onto it before it produced its first "branch" חוטר. -----Cain is the first-fruit of the branch grafted onto the original root such that until the virgin birth of Jesus of Nazareth the human race had no inkling (so to say) of what the written text of the Torah was getting on about when it implied (with clarification from Jewish midrashim) that a new branch was grafted onto the original root of the human race in Bere****h 2:21. -----Until Jesus' unique birth, there was no inkling (so to say) that Cain represented a different species than Adam; specifically, a sexually reproducing species grafted onto a species designed to be a clonal-colony reproducing through basal-shoots forming a mammalian representation of a clonal arboretum.
Within this revealed context, the female ovum ("seed of the woman") represents the last vestige of the original root of the original (pre-sexual) human race such that every time phallic-sex occurs, the species grafted onto the original DNA of Adam is merely producing in the way that species always reproduces. -----I once gave the analogy of a fellow whose fruit farming friend gives him a beautiful apple tree as a gift. He plants it. Waters it. Eats its fruit. Until the day he intends to go away on a long journey. He doesn't want the fruit building up in his absence so he decides to cut the tree down to the root and bury it with soil.
When he returns, there where his beloved apple tree was cut down, stands a full-grown olive tree. Initially he's stunned. It seems like some demonic magic has transformed his beloved apple tree, the very apple of his eye, in into an olive tree? It's only when he tells his bizarre tale to his fruit farming friend that he learns fruit farmers often graft one species onto the root of another to provide say an apple tree with a heartier root, say an olive root.
The same thing happened when Jesus of Nazareth started producing Torah that tasted different than the fruit (see Rashi Gen. 1:11) of what was thought to be the original Tree of Life (the original Torah scroll). -----Jesus said, you've tasted the fruit of the Torah that's similar to such and such, but I offer you fruit from the original tree, prior to the grafting on of the branch whose fruit you assume is original.
The Jews of Jesus' day were as dumbfounded by the new fruit Jesus offered as was the owner of the apple tree that started producing olives. In both cases what was assumed to be the whole truth was in fact not the whole truth and nothing but. In both cases something was hidden in the very root that shocked the hell out of those who thought they were the possessors of the whole truth and nothing but, such that the angst you see in the Jewish response to most everything I write is easily interpreted based on the fact that they assume they're the possessors of the original Tree of Life (the Torah scroll) when the tree they posses has in fact been grafted onto the root of the true Torah as a desecration of the original intent of the original Author and creator of that Tree.
