i think that when god destroyed sodem and gamora (sp?) he confused our tongues (languages) then people went out to different areas and make the new races by adapting to the locations and speaking their new languages that god made them speak after he destroyed those 2 cities because of the sin in it.

i agree with the previous post about the indians pulling off their hair and so it started to not grow back and how people in different locations such as african americans' skin darkened to protect themselves from the sun burning them.

The different languages came from Babylon.. When they were building the tower of Babyl god cursed them with confusion in not being able to understand each other. If I'm not mistaken not one person could understand the other, thus giving us so many different languages.

He destroyed soddom and Gomorah due to the fact that there was not 5 righteous men in the city.. the only one was lot.. So got spared his family, which was him his wife and his 2 daughters. The place was filled with sin.

As far as the different colors of people, I believe that it is an adaptation to the surroundings.. It's a proven fact that things adapt to their surroundings over time, but the whole theory of evolving from a single organism is a little much.
