Noah.
According to Genesis, we know the names of three of Noah's sons: Ham, Shem, and Japeth. Shem is the father of the "Semitic" races (or Shemitic - taking dialects into account). He may have had other sons, but they are not mentioned in the Bible.
Noah, his wife, Shem, Ham, Japeth, and their wives. Eight total.
The Sons of Noah were Shem, Ham, and Japeth. It is generally thought that ham settled in the area of Ethiopia, but there is no correlation with his name, nor any certainty that he was settled there.
Shem
Noah (Genesis 5:32)
No. The Bible only mentions the three sons in one sentence. It does not say that they were born as twins or triplets and the Bible is explicit when twins or triplets exist (see Jacob and Esau).
The Tower of Babel was built because the descendants of Shem, Ham and Japeth wanted to make a name for themselves. They also didn't want to be split apart into the world

EsauGenesis 9:18 - Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan. [NKJV]
By tradition, Shem was the father of the people of the middle East and Asia. However, this is simply legend, it's not Biblical. Answer Actually it is Biblical, if you will take the time to follow out the geneology given of Shem in the Bible. The people groups that came from Shem are clearly established as peoples known by modern day names in the middleast and Asia. Though there is some of Ham in parts of the Middleast, and Japeth to the north. But generally speaking, Middleastern and Asiatic peoples are of Shem. When you say Indians, if by that, you mean American Indians, the truth is, no one knows for sure.
The Bible has the :-Gen 10:1-32 KJV Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons [ie Noah's grandsons] born after the flood. [v. 2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. [v. 3] ... [v. 6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. [v. 7] ... [v. 22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ... [v. 32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
A:According to biblical tradition, Noah was the ancestor of all subsequent humans. This of course is a religious belief, not a scientific or anthropological statement.
