¿Question #229865?
RealGuest: Was Cain's murder of Abel the first recorded instance of genocide?

RealGuest: It had to be a pretty significant percentage of the population. As much as 25 possibly, although there's reference to the existence of others as soon as the death is discovered. Also, it ended a bloodline that surely would have formed a nation or large number of people..
MABBY: Nope-- it's called fratricide. Although the term is not gender specific, so if you'd killed your sister it wouldn't have a different name. You're going to need hundreds, or thousands, of victims before it's a genocide.
PolarDad: Ummm...no?
ocdspectrum: Read the Book of Nod to find out.
Derang3d: Recorded? Well he SAID he murdered Abel, but are you really gonna believe a murderer like that?
