See the related link for research into the possible settlement of Noah's sons after the Great flood. Japheth was the oldest, followed by Shem and Ham.
Answer:
In Noah's three sons [the three fathers whose families survived the global flood, and from whom the world was repopulated by man]... we can see the three main races of the future generations of man represented: the Negro, Ham; Caucasian, Shem; and Oriental, Japheth.
We're told that Japheth's descendants: "...became the maritime nations in various lands, each with a separate language." (Gen.10:5 LVB Living Bible)
The KJV says, same verse: "By these [Japheth's descendants] were the ISLES of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."
The NLT New Living Translation says: "Their descendants became the seafaring peoples in various lands, each tribe with its own language."
In other words... Japheth became the "Oriental" peoples throughout the world; Chinese, Mongols, Russians, Japanese, Koreans, etc.. People displaying Oriental characteristics throughout the Pacific ISLES [maritime; tribes of people bordering on the sea, whose lives and commerce depend upon the sea]... Tahiti, the Philippines, Hawaii, and a thousand other islands in that vast Pacific Ocean. Oriental traits are also evident in the Eskimo, the American Indian, Mexicans and South American peoples.
Shem
Genesis 6:10 - And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. [NKJV]
Neither. American Indians were alive and flourishing thousands of years before.
The figure who made a covenant to worship God and left Mesopotamia with his family to settle in Canaan is Abraham. According to biblical accounts, God called Abraham to leave his homeland and promised him that he would become the father of a great nation. This journey marked the beginning of the Israelites' relationship with God and the establishment of Canaan as their promised land.

Japheth was the other brother, and the third of Noah's sons.
Shem
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.
In biblical tradition, Japheth is a character known as one of Noah's sons, and his descendants are often associated with Indo-European peoples, specifically those who settled in Europe and western Asia. The term "Japhetic races" has been used historically to refer to this group.
Japheth Kimutai was born in 1978.
According to biblical tradition, Japheth, one of Noah's sons, is not typically associated with receiving the priesthood. The priesthood in the context of Noah's family is usually linked to his other son, Shem, from whom the Levitical priesthood is believed to descend. Therefore, Japheth is not traditionally considered to have received the priesthood from Noah.
Italians are traditionally believed to be descendants of the people of Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. In biblical accounts, Japheth's descendants are often associated with the peoples of Europe and parts of Asia. While this is a cultural and historical perspective, modern genetics and anthropology provide a more complex understanding of the ancestry of Italians and other groups.
Gen:9,26 &27 made Canaan slaves to Shem & Japheth
Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. According to biblical accounts, their occupations are not explicitly detailed, but they are traditionally considered to be progenitors of various nations and peoples. Shem is often associated with the Semitic peoples, Ham with African nations, and Japheth with European nations. Their roles are more symbolic, representing the spread of humanity after the flood rather than specific occupations.
The sons of Noah settled in different regions after the flood. Shem's descendants settled in the Middle East, Ham's descendants settled in Africa, and Japheth's descendants settled in Europe and Asia.
May he expand.
The location of the sons of Japheth is an important task of identifying the nations of the world and the blessings given to Japheth by God through Noah. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations. When broadly referring to all the descendants of Japheth, yes, Japhethites is the correct term.
