Neither. American Indians were alive and flourishing thousands of years before.
Shem
Genesis 6:10 - And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. [NKJV]
They, among others, are descended from Noah's son Shem.
Genesis 9:25-27 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
The immediate descendants of Shem can be found in Genesis 10:21-31 and Genesis 11. Chapter 11 makes the connection between Shem's descendants and Abraham. Also, according to book of Luke chapter 3 in New Testament you can trace King David's line through Noah's son Shem.
No, they are descended from Japheth, patriarch of the Caucasian races of Europe.
Oh honey, the Japanese are descended from Japheth, not Shem Ham. But let's be real, does it really matter where they came from? They're here now, making sushi and anime, and that's what really counts.
Gen:9,26 &27 made Canaan slaves to Shem & Japheth
A group which differentiates relatives of Shem, Ham and Japheth. Although made of relatives of Shem and Japheth, which is where aryans derive.
The Bible does not mentions Indians. It does however, provide (in Gen 10-11) the 'Table of Nations' from which all people on the Earth today are descended. The table starts with Noah (after the flood) and his three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. This list deals with any real specificity on only those people in and around Israel. If you assume that Indians are a mix of the Arab people and Africans, you would then conclude that Indians are descended from Shem and Ham. However, since you can not make these assumptions with any real clarity, this would only be a guess.
Shem
Shem, Ham and Japheth See the Bible Genesis 6:10
they are the sons of noah:
Japheth was the other brother, and the third of Noah's sons.
After the Great Flood, Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, settled in different regions. Shem settled in the Middle East, Ham settled in Africa, and Japheth settled in Europe and Asia.
Noah. Genesis 6:9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
If we follow the genealogical line far enough, the son of Noah was Jesus Christ. Noah's three recorded sons in the first instance were Shem, Ham and Japheth. From these three the three main 'people groups' on the planet are descended post flood. This is recorded in Genesis 10.
