We have people have all colors/ethnicity on this planet. So, how did we get from one person all these ethnicities? Was it some sort of cellular evolution that created an excess of melanin in some people over others?

We're not all the descendents of Noah. When God flooded the "erets" , a Hebrew word for land, he didn't flood the entire earth, just a portion of it. There were other people and ethnicities living on the earth at that time.

“The origin of races: answered”
Genesis11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
11:10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
shem was the son of Noah.

God created all the races on the 6th day of creation. Genesis 1.
God told Noah to take 2 of every flesh, not just animals. All the races were on board the ark.
Gen 6:19 "And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female."
You should ask "Why did God bring the flood in Noah's time?"
Maybe someone will answer correctly.

inbreeding?
if i thought it was possible to repopulate the world to this extent so quickly, i would say that races are a genetic misprint carried on through the centuries through some serious inbreeding.
seing as how i don't believe any of it, i'll say that some people developed black (or white, or red, or yellow) skin for the same reason sharks developed a skeleton made entirely of cartilage, or syberian huskies a thick undercoat of fur - because it suited their environment best and gave them a survival advantage.

Because of personal preferences.
Me, I prefer good old stock car races. NASCAR, ARCA any stock car.
I don't care much for open wheel races except the sprints. That Indy series and grand prix stuff is for the french snobs.
