ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Japhetites

Okay, so imagine we have a bunch of people, like you and your friends at school. Some of you might have different hair colors or skin colors, right? Well, a long, long time ago, people all looked different too. Some had lighter skin and hair, and some had darker skin and hair.

People started to give names to these groups of people based on how they looked, and one group was called the Japhetites. This was a name given to people who were believed to have lighter skin and hair.

It's important to remember, though, that people should never be judged or treated differently based on how they look. We should always treat others with kindness and respect, no matter what their skin or hair looks like.
