The Book of Jubilees hinted that Canaan further refused to join his brothers to settle in Ham's allotment beyond the Nile (Africa) and proceeded to inhabit the eastern shores of Mediterranean "squatting" within the inheritance of Shem in the region that later is promised to Abraham.

Offspring of Canaan were:

Sam or Shem is known as the forefather of the Middle peoples (Semitic Race)
Jews consider him their father through Arpachshad.
His children were Elam, Asshur, Aram, Lud and Arpachshad from whom Abraham was descended.
Sam and his sons were the ancestors of the following nations:
From Elam: Khuzistan, Iran
From Assur: Iraq
From Arpachshad: Iraq, Turkey, Syria (Sham), Lebanon and possibly south Jordan and north Saudi Arabia.
From Lud: Anatolia
From Aram: Iraq, Syria

It is considered by most scholars and historians that the five sons of Sam were the ancestors of the nations of Elam, Assyria, Syria, Chaldea and Lydia respectively.
Some historians believe that Sam descended the whole of European people.
The Islamic scholar Al Tabari believes that the Greeks are descendants of Sam.

Now Arpachshad who is considered the father of Jews, and had 3 sons:
Cainan: whom for some reasons the Jews cancelled his name from the genealogical list

Shelah or Salah: Who may be also son of Cainan and not Arpachshad, had a son called Eber who is the eponymous ancestor of Hebrews. He was living in Babel, however it is said by the Jewish traditions that he refused to participate in building the Tower of Babel. He had two sons, Peleg and Joktan.

Peleg: Whom in his days and according to the Book of Genesis "The Earth was divided" and this expression was translated as political divisions between the sons of Noah.
From Peleg there were Reu, Serug, Nabor, Terah and Abraham.
