The genetic material necessary for all 'races' was present in Adam and Eve. The global deluge of Noah's day narrowed it down somewhat from what existed prior to that, but based on Biblical history we can deduce which of Noah's three sons were the likely origins of the various 'races'.

"Biblical and other historical evidence indicates that Shem was thus the progenitor of the Semitic peoples: the Elamites, the Assyrians, the early Chaldeans, the Hebrews, the Aramaeans (or Syrians), various Arabian tribes, and perhaps the Lydians of Asia Minor."

In regards to Ham:
"Some persons have incorrectly held that the black race and enslavement of members of that race resulted from the curse pronounced upon Canaan (Ham's son). On the contrary, the descendants of Canaan, the cursed one, were not of the black race. The black race descended from Cush and possibly from Put, other sons of Ham who were not involved in the incident or the curse."

Historically, Japheth was the progenitor of the Aryan or Indo-European (Indo-Germanic) branch of the human family. The names of his sons and grandsons are found in ancient historical texts as relating to peoples and tribes residing mainly to the N and W of the Fertile Crescent. They appear to have spread from the Caucasus eastward into Central Asia and westward through Asia Minor to the islands and coastlands of Europe and perhaps all the way to Spain. Arabian traditions claim that one of Japheth’s sons was also the progenitor of the Chinese peoples.

I'm not positive, but I remember asking this question in Bible school when I was younger. I remember that my Bible school teacher just referred back to the Tower of Babel and then said that after that, people were scattered over the earth and they slowly became different races to better adapt to the environment.
I've always wondered this though.

Towel of Babel when God spread out man upon the earth. Once man got to each chunk of land, he then evolved into the races we see today.

All the other races were created 2,000+ years before Adam and Eve.
