Well, you didn’t actually ask that question, you asked whether three brothers from the same family were different races, which is quite an odd question to ask. Now that you ask, I will say, the races are quite obviously the result of environmental adaptation, specifically to the environments that people settled in after the flood. Also, the races do not seem to correspond to which of Noah’s children someone descended from. Both Hamitic and Semitic people settled in the Middle East, for example, and experienced the same environmental pressures, and ended up morphological similar, while Hamitic peoples who settled in sub-Sarahan Africa ended up looking much different.

Evolution? Even so, there was not enough time to change bones and such.

Of course none of that is really relevant, since the Bible doesn’t bother to talk about race, because it isn’t important. Which makes me wonder why it seems important to you.

You've been focusing on it a lot more than I have. lol

Oh really? How long does it take to “change bones and such”?

“You’ve been focusing on it a lot more than I have. lol”

You brought it up, I’ve just been trying to figure out why you seem to think it matters in a Biblical discussion.
