[From where did the different races come?]
This reminds me of the question; where did all the languages come from? Years ago, the U.S. government invested millions of dollars to discover "where all languages came from". After millions of dollars, and a ton of research, the scientific study concluded that all languages originated in Babylon.
Of course, all languages did come from Babylon. I could have saved the U.S. government millions of dollars: all the "scientists" needed to do was crack open a Bible to Genesis to know this!
Where did all races originate? From the decendants of Noah; should we pump millions of dollars into a "scientific study" to prove that all mankind originated from the mountains of Ararat?

It would be more accurate to say that the Indo-European class of languages, a large group indeed, did originate in Babylon.

A little venture into logic: different geological locations have varied climate, landmarks and wildlife that are not found in other geographical areas. Let's take Australia... many creatures reside there that can be natively found nowhere else on Earth. Thus, the first occupants of Australia had to create new words to describe these creatures. Their language adapted to their environment. Obviously someone who had never seen a wallabe would not have a word for the small hoppy marsupial. The fact is, back when languages were formed, colonies of mankind were isolated from one another, and they made their own language to describe the environment they were surrounded by.
So all of noah's kids became Swahili, Korean, Aborigines, Pygmies, Vikings, and eskimos among others? So you're saying they evolved into different races? Hmmm.
Explain Finnish, Hungarian, and Basque, please.
"Why does he talk differently?"
" Because people who grew up far away from here do."
That's how hard that is, and it was realized well before that stupid tower story.

Yes. You might save some skeptics from hell if the Bible managed to predict a bunch of scientific studies.
I'm quite willing to believe that the U.S. government did indeed waste millions of taxpayer dollars on such an asinine study. They have, after all, wasted much more on far worse. What I am not willing to believe is that this study produced a conclusion so contrary to the body of the worlds knowledge.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
