The bible is unclear in this issue because of its religious lack of importance (not that this isn’t an important question) the bible is more metaphorical than anything, so its basically just here to explain to you about God and how he created us, sent his son to save us, morals etc etc. But your question is scientific. The answer to it is Micro evolution. It’s a stone cold fact that species adapt to their climate. Africans over a period of time developed hair that best lets heat rise from their head while Irish people for instance have thick hair to keep the heat in since it’s colder in Ireland. Do you understand now?

What we deem today as ‘races’ are physical traits that were favored in a given environment, as people-groups migrated into areas widely separated from each other. There has been speculation about the ‘race’ of the pre-Noahic people but we simply aren’t told anything one way or the other.

There are many small physical differences between groups of people, that we can observe with our eyes. These differences occured over time do to natural genetics. For an indepth study of this I would suggest that you check out Ken Ham, and his Answers in Genesis website. He has mountains of evidence refutingthe muth of evolution and the billion year old universe.

Not everything in the Bible can be taken literally, but must be viewed symbolically. The Flood stresses the fact that there are consequences for our actions. The consequence isn’t always death, although that is the ultimate consequence, obliterated by Jesus, but consequences do exist. That is how I have been taught to view such stories. The religious implications are more important than the actual happenings.
