Genesis 1:26-27; If we accept the account of the creation of the world in six days by God as recorded in Genesis 1. And if we truly believe that at one time, in the beginning, Adam and Eve were the only two humans. And if we believe that all mankind came from them. The conclusion must be that God place in their genes the ability to create a wide diversity of people.

Thus, God created the races through procreation.

Genesis 6; The population of the world at the flood was probably about equal to the population of the world in 1950.

Genesis 9:22; Ham sinned against his father Noah. Noah cursed Canaan, Ham's son.

Genesis 10; Noah/wife had no more children. The world was repopulated through Shem, Ham, & Japheth.
