There are different views on this, but Josephus identified the descendants of Shem with the Asian people. Of course, today it would be considered naive in the extreme to believe that Asians are all descended from a single man who only lived around two thousand years before the Common Era.

Is Jesus related to Shem?

There is no direct evidence that Jesus is related to Shem, but some people believe that they may be related indirectly. Shem was one of the sons of Noah, and Noah is a direct ancestor of Abraham, who is a direct ancestor of Jesus. So, if Shem and Noah are related, then Jesus may be related to Shem indirectly. However, there is no way to know for sure if this is the case.
