If, according to the claim by Muslim Ulamaa about Adam's creation was a result of four different ingredients or colors of sand such as red, black, white, and yellow, then why do we have to believe in Hamitic Theory? A look at the four different types of sand would reveal that some races are reddish, some are black, some are white, while others have yellowish skin pigmentation.
Some researchers, especially Racialist Anthropologists, constantly dwell on the use of Caucasoid (White), Mongoloid (Asian), and Negroid (Black) classifications. Ethnic groups with short statures are referred to as Pigmoids (from pygmy). Have they forgotten the millenniums of miscegenation which is the interbreeding of people of different racial types and what about the constant weather exposures and climatic changes?
At times people of the Horn of Africa are referred to as Hamitic, Cushitic, or Afro-Asiatic. According to "Table of Nations" in Genesis 10:6 and I Chronicles 1:8, Cush or Kush was the son of Ham who was the son of Noah. The demeaning revelation that Ham passed by his drunk and naked father Noah and then walked insolently without covering his nudity paved way for Ham's imprecation and a path for his other brothers' divine right to enslave him, abuse him, and denigrate his reputation. Noah's malediction gave Ham kinky hair, flat-nose and broad lips that would last for eternity.
The rise of European imperialism, slavery, and colonialism and Arab disdain for the black race ushered in prolonged suffering for the son of Ham. European divide-and-rule tactics, neocolonialism, economic slavery, and African dictators primordial leaderships continue to pull apart the natural resources rich men and women of the African Continent.
My final point is a question for our Racialist Anthropologists and religious Historians. Apart from Noah's three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, what color was Yaam, the one who climbed the mountain during the deluge?
