The concept of "race" didn't exist in ancient history like it does today. Inter-racial marriage was practiced throughout the Bible, including the genealogy of Jesus.
Moses had a lot of problems because one of his wives was black. When his sister complained about it, she was struck with leprosy. He kept trying to send his other wife back to her father and the father kept sending her back.

On a long enough timeline, we all go back to African roots.
Not that long ago, they came up out of Africa around 40,000 years ago. We find fishing hooks and sowing needles made out of bone. At first clothing was more for ceremony and show. The Bible says fig leaves but it was actually the fiber of the fig tree they made clothing from. Then God showed them how to use animal skins to keep warm so they could move north into the colder climates. When I was growing up we did not have insulated clothing like today. I was freezing in the winter if I did not have a wool or down jacket.
