The flood wiped everyone but eight people out. From the descendants of Noah's three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth, is derived Semitic, Hamitic and Japhethic nationalities. Certain of Noah's grandsons including Elam, Ashur, Aram, Cush, and Canaan, from which Elamites, Assyrians, Arameans, Cushites and Canaanites, as well as further descendants including Eber (from which Hebrew), the hunter-king Nimrod, the Philistines and the sons of Canaan including Heth, Jebus and Amorus, from which Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites. That was from Wiki, so easy to find! 
I wonder if Mr. Searies has ever read Scripture?
Acts 17:
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being ...

My father had brown hair. His parents also had brown hair. His parent's parents, and all of his parents siblings had brown hair.
My mother had brown hair. Her parents had brown hair, as did her siblings. Her parent's parents and all of their siblings had brown hair.
Same deal with my stepmom. (Brown hair from a family of brown-haired people for at least two generations before her.)
Dad, mom and stepmom had a total of six kids. One is blonde. Did she evolve? I can guarantee she's not the milkman's daughter.

I once heard a scientist explain it somewhat like this.... This is my paraphrasing.
Think of the human race like dogs - not that we are dogs. However, if you take one dog and breed it with another dog, different pups are born. Then you take those pups and breed them with each other, then you've created a new breed. If you take any breed of dog, and google it, you'll find how they came to be. Some of them, you'll see were bred for a different purpose.
This is the same with humans. You take humans, and breed the same ones with each other, you'll get a new breed - or race. It's in our DNA. Magenta, in Post #3, shows how different races got started by "breeding" people together.
I'm the only one in my entire family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and my sister (except my daughter) that has this complete combination: red hair, fair skin with freckles, and blue eyes. I'm like the odd ball in my family. ...hehe...

Who would know with any accuracy? It all comes down to speculation.
I would think that the skin color of all mentioned Biblical individuals would vary in the minds of whatever skin colored person was reading the Genesis text. Isn't it true, for instance, that in a white anglo saxon dominated society, that Jesus in any movie of him, is always depicted as white anglo saxon? Even though the location is supposed to be in the eastern world of the Jewish folk.
Clearly, the actual racial designation doesn't matter. What matters, is that the Biblical context relates effectively to everyone.

Have you ever heard of recessive genes? I would tell you to spend some time studying it, but you would just probably be introduced to more nonsense about evolutionary biology.
To make it simple, as others have also done:
My father had green eyes, my mom had brown eyes. I have blue eyes -having had two grandfathers with blue eyes, who each contributed a blue eyed gene. (My sister had green eyes, and my brother had brown eyes! So for me, I got the two recessive blues, one masked by my father's green eyes, and one masked by my mother's brown. In genetics, they call that bb, although it is actually much more complex than that, and many genes are technically involved.
My husband's father had brown eyes and his mom had green eyes. My husband has brown eyes, he has one siblings with blue eyes, another with brown, and one with green. So the same kind of thing - blue being recessive. So my husband could have had Bg or Bb - (B being dominant brown, and g being green).
So after 4 children, we are pretty convinced my husband is Bg. We had one child with very green eyes, and three brown eyes. I was kind of sad I had no blue eyed children.
But God is good! My one son married a blue eyed woman, and I have two blue-eyed grandchildren. Yes! And the other son married a woman with brown eyes, and we have a brown eyed grandchild, and another blue eyed and strawberry blond hair grandchild. We have no idea where the strawberry blonde hair came from. No one on either side of the family had that although there were a few light blondes and dirty blondes.
It is fascinating to think about all the potential genes that Adam and Eve had - both dominant and recessive. perhaps they were even polyploldal??
