Hey steve, I was reading through your 'white men can't jump' and you say that the table of nations does not refer to indians, sub-saharans, etc. so I was wondering if you think those groups did come out of Noah and his sons? Thanks
I think all extant humans trace back to Adam via Noah. But the table of nations has a limited geographical scope. It mentions people-groups that would be familiar to the original audience, viz. an Israelite living in the 2nd millennium BC.
