Descendants of Noah

Question

If Noah’s family were the only flood survivors then does that mean all Jewish people are descendants of Noah and his Jewish wife? Are gentiles descended from a gentile wife of a son of Noah?

    The entire world population are decedents of Noah. After the Flood, the only human life left was Noah, his wife and their three sons and their wives. That means that all mankind is descended from Noah. The Torah teaches that the Jewish nation is descended from one of Noah’s son’s: Shem.
