3172.—The Negro

Can you give us Bible evidence as to the origin of the Negro? A. W.
The Bible origin of the races of mankind is stated in Genesis 10. Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The European or Aryan races sprang from Japheth; the Semitic, of which the Jew and the Assyrian are types, sprang from Shem; the darker races, such as have inhabited Africa, from Ham. That is why it is that Africa has been called the land of Ham. The Negro is one of the Hamitic races.
