Even with your dates, you have to have the Xia in China 147 years after the flood. Since Noah and his three sons had to populate Egypt, too, two things are happening incredibly quickly. One, the three sons are having descendants at an incredible rate, and two, those descendants are evolving into different races at an incredible rate.
According to Genesis 11:7 a miracle of Jehovah came about at the building of the Tower of Babel. Jehovah confounded their languages so the different factions no longer had a common language. So by this the various languages of the races and people originated according to Biblical text. That was given. from there the various language groups scattered over the world. This would still be possible if the oceans hadn't yet settled postflood to their present depth. How long it took for these different groups to adjust to their various colors and appearance is not given, but it may have took some time. And again, since we're talking miracle here, it may have been almost simultaneous with the confounding of the languages. This is how I see it in light of what is observed and what the Bible says. This is not
scientific, but then neither was the virgin birth of Jesus. We who believe Jehovah made it all believe he did adjust to suit as need arose.
