The document discusses the concept of human races from both scientific and biblical perspectives. It summarizes that: 1) Modern science has reduced the number of accepted human races to three: European, Asian, African. 2) The Bible traces the origin of all humanity to Noah's three sons - Shem, Ham, and Japheth - from whom the whole earth was repopulated. 3) Both genetics research and the Bible indicate there is only one human "race" and that all humans originated from the same ancestors in Africa and have a common lineage. Differences between groups are cultural not racial.
Where did the races come from
- 1. How many races are there? Fred Williams B.S. Electrical Engineering
- 5. …advanced understanding of DNA reduced the amount of races accepted by scientists to three: European, Asian, African.
- 6. “Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth… These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.” Gen 9:18-19 The Bible & Genetics
- 7. …But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the LORD said, Gen 11:1-8 “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language… “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
- 9. These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood. Gen 10:32
- 10. The Bible & Genetics Y Chromosome - Male inheritance NO variation found in non-coding introns! All men trace back to single male ancestor MtDNA – Female inheritance 4 main groups of variation found All groups go back to one ‘Mitochondrial Eve’
- 11. …appears to mutate much faster than expected
- 12. “Regardless of the cause, evolutionists are most concerned about the effect of a faster mutation rate. For example, researchers have calculated that “mitochondrial Eve”—the woman whose mtDNA was ancestral to that in all living people—lived 100,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa. Using the new clock, she would be a mere 6000 years old.” Dr. Ann Gibbons, Science Magazine
- 15. MtDNA Migration – 4 MAJOR Groups L type - Nearly all Africans. M type - Ethiopian, Somali, Indian, Siberians, northern East and Central Asians, America. N type - Various parts of Asia, some Australia. R type - Almost all European populations and a large number of Middle-Eastern population. Some Chinese. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup
- 16. An Immoral Act… Lev 18:6-8, 20:11 ‘None of you shall approach anyone near of kin to uncover nakedness: I am the Lord. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother…You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is the nakedness of your father… The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness’ Also see Lev 20:20-21, Ezekiel 22:10–11
- 17. Why was Canaan Cursed? “Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness. So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. Then he said: “Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren.” Genesis 9:21-25
- 18. “Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.” Gen 9:18-19 Why was Canaan Cursed?

- 21. “Nothing, however, is perhaps more remarkable in this respect, than that some of the wildest tribes in southern Asia and Eastern Africa have no trace whatever of the first foundations of all human civilization, of family life, and marriage. They live together in herds, like apes, …” “At the lowest stage of human mental development are the Australians, some tribes of the Polynesians, and the Bushmen, Hottentots, and some of the Negro tribes…Very many wild tribes can count no further than ten or twenty, whereas some very clever dogs have been made to count up to forty and even beyond sixty… They have barely risen above the lowest stage of transition from man-like apes to ape-like man…” Ernst Haeckel, "The History of Creation", pp. 362-365

- 25. Gal 3:28-29: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Acts 17:26: And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth… Rom 10:12-13: For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

- 37. ‘More and more scientists find that the differences that set us apart are cultural, not racial. Some even say that the word race should be abandoned because it's meaningless…’ ‘What the facts show is that there are differences among us, but they stem from culture, not race.’ ABC News, ‘We’re All the Same’ 1998
