Which of the sons of Noah did Africans come from?

Answer 1

Archaeologists and historians say that the Egyptians have lived in Egypt for many thousands of years and that their civilisation continued undisturbed throughout the entire period during which the biblical Flood is supposed to have occurred. On this evidence, the Egyptians are not descended from Noah or any of his children.

Answer 2

A:The Bible does not say which of the sons of Noah Africans came from. From a scientific and historical point of view, Africans have existed for many thousands of years before the time attributed to Noah.

Answer 2

The Bible seems to indicate that the Africans are descended from Ham. His children: Kush, Mitzraim, Fut, and Kanaan are all names of geographic regions either near Africa or close to it. (Kush = Nubia, Mitzraim = Egypt, Fut = East Libya, Kanaan = Canaan.) As a result, many slaveholders in the United States claimed that Slavery was sanctioned in the United States since the curse of Ham made the sons of Ham the servants of his brothers.

However, there is no historically verified evidence of a global flood or of Noah, so historically speaking, this question is unanswerable because it has no truth value.

Answer 3

Shem (שם), which is where we get the words Semitic and Semite. However, this is just a biblical allegory, and is not meant to be taken literally.
