Probably people with various forms of gigantism and/or demigods like Heracles. We of course know that Elohim didn’t create all humanity, just the ancient Hebrews. Two people is not enough genetic diversity to sustain a population, and besides, we have fossil records of humans long before 6,000 years ago. Abel and Cain likely found wives among the human creations of other gods.

I love what @JesusChristLover420@lemmy.sdf.org is saying, but there’s no mystery about the nephilim. Adam and Eve weren’t the first homosapiens, they were only the first Jews. They were the true children of Yahweh/El/Elohim, the only created things that were imbued with divine breath. Other humans were considered subservient like other animals. The Sons of God are Jewish men, the Daughters of Men were outsider women. Most of the oral traditions in Genesis were ancient before they were written down, so they could even be echos of early homosapiens cross breeding with neanderthals. Remember what Jesus called the gentile woman who begged for help? He said helping her would be like throwing the children’s food — the children of Yahweh — to the dogs. Those who weren’t the ethnicity and the religion were not only outsiders, they were akin to “beasts of the field.”
