I believe that the reason we see the 'people groups' of our world with there own race like qualities (which when compared to the genes of any two people on earth are significantly small), and set over different geographical zones by the Babel experience...
now to clarify where I am coming from, I believe that 'Pangaea' existed at this time and that there was a second cataclysmic event that broke this continent apart(the flood being the first), people groups had started to populate the region ( I put the number at about around 2000 +/- 100 people) most likely there were groups of around 300 peoples that had seperated into different areas of 'Pangaea' but God did not like what was happening in this geographical area so he struck the earth with a asteroid or something on a larger scale, (this could also and most likely is the reason for the Ice Epoch too)... environment has had everything to do with our genes... the Pre Pangaean people where genetically superior to what we observe today, with not nearly the mistakes we have today... certainly mistakes would have been quicker in coming into our genes and setting apart the people groups after this cataclysmic event (not only where there languages confounded from each others over time but so to where there genetic traits)
