Hi,

Here is an answer I found online (however, I cannot personally back it up since I don't have much knowledge nor interest in the Bible).

The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and by living in one place were disobeying God's command to 'fill the earth' (Genesis 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups which scattered over the earth (Genesis 11:8-9). Modern genetics show how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. There is good evidence that the various people groups we have today have not been separated for huge periods of time.1

Yes, you spelled ark right! lol. God told Noah to buid an ark, and it took him hundreds of years to buid it. (He lived to be 950 years old.) He got the animals and everything, and he brought his wife, his three sons, and their wives. The world would be repopulated by these 4 couples. Many years later, at an event known as Babel, God spread the people all over the earth and caused them to speak different languages. (Some people believe that the earth used to be one big mass of land, and that this is when the earth divided into continents.) Anyway, it is said that by the work the different people did and the places they lived, their skin tones changed either lighter or darker. (From being in the sun or possibly from being born albino.) Noah and his family were probably a brown color (not really dark, but not white). Hope this helped!!

God told Noah to take him, his 3 sons, and there wifes with Noah on the ark. And they spread out from there after the ark landed.

The people, in their arrogance and difilement of God's commands, tried to build a tower to heaven so they could dwell with God. God's response was to confuse the languages and color of skin so the people would not be able to comlete the tower and it was then destroyed.
