Every one stems from Abraham right? Jews are linked to the 12 tribes, Muslims come from judah, those of europe can trace some ancestors back to those roots. The Native Americans and Polynesians have links to Abraham through those who came to America from Jerusalem and the Tower of Babel according to the LDS faith. But where do Asians fit in? Did they just start with the Tower of Babel and we never heard from them? I've heard of a visitation in ancient Asian tradition of a great white God similar to those in South America and native Americans. How do they fit in with that history? Know any good books that explain it?

All individuals are not able to trace back to Abraham, as there were many other individuals alive who had children at the same time as him. They are able to trace back to Adam and Eve, and then after the Flood, to the three sons of Noah and his wife. They fit in just as any other race does. As people dispersed around the globe after the Tower of Babel, individual groups began to marry within their groups and distinctive genetic traits began to emerge as they began having children. Thus, what sets each race apart began to become prominent, and after many generations, a distinctive set of features became associated with the different races.

I hate to tell you this but the Middle East, aka "the Holy Land" is on the continent of Asia, in western Asia to be exact. The Bible is all about Asians and people of Asian decent! The "born-again"
Christians are expecting a huge army from the East (China) to invade the Holy Land when the rive Euphrates dries/is dammed up. So there you have it.

You have to start right back to Noah and the flood. Everyone went their own way from there, and Asians set their identity as an Eastern extension of Noah's sons. The Bible does not portray the eastern peoples because they turned to other religions, and were not allied with the sons of Abraham, even though God sent His son to die for everyone, even Asians! It's just that they have to find Him again.

The Bible is unable to give adequate answers to Human history as most of it is made up.

Silly, obviously you are LDS if you are quoting them. Why ask us silly heathens, go ask your prophet. Its not like we could give you an answer that you would like if it went against the Mormon faith. BTW, that stuff don' really jive with the "other"Christians since they think Joe Smitty was full of crap.
