29. Genetically speaking, how could Noah and his sons father many different races?

If everyone before Noah was descended from Adam and Eve, then all people would have been of their race, whatever that was, including Noah, his wife, and sons. If everyone on Earth died in the flood for Noah and his family, how could their genes create people of many races?

I find it difficult to connect science and Biblical beliefs.
