Gen 9:25 says "cursed be Canaan. Let him become the slave to his brothers" no reference to skin color. The curse was because Ham's son Canaan had evidently performed some shocking act deserving of a curse. Canaan's descendants were lighter skinned people living east of the Mediterranean sea.
They were depraved, and came under divine judgment and God gave Israel the land he had set aside for the
Canaanites. Gen 10:15-19. Noah's son Ham has son Cush; who's children were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. Gen 10:6,7
Biblical references to Cush are usually equivalent to Ethiopia.
Seba is later used when referring to another people in the eastern part of Africa and close to Ethiopia. Isa 43:3
When certain groups of
people are isolated from others, and married within the group certain distinctive combinations of genetic traits are evident in their offspring.
