Thread 7's open invitation is not addressed to a theological abstraction called 'humanity.' It is addressed to the specific peoples catalogued here. The seventy nations of Genesis 10 are the whosoever of John 3:16 given family names and territorial addresses. Every one of them is within reach.
The table of nations is not a footnote. It is the canvas on which every subsequent act of God's redemptive reach will be painted, seventy nations descended from three sons, every one of them within range of Thread 7's open invitation.
תּוֹלְדֹת (toledoth): generations, genealogical record: the toledoth formula that structures all of Genesis; each toledoth section moves the narrative forward to the next theological moment; this toledoth covers the entire table of nations, the full scope of post-Flood humanity organized by family, language, territory, and nation · גּוֹיִם (goyim): nations, peoples: the seventy nations of Genesis 10 become the canonical reference point for 'the nations' throughout the OT and NT; Deuteronomy 32:8 assigns them territories; Revelation 5:9 and 7:9 show the redeemed gathered from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, the table of nations is the inventory that Revelation's multitude fills

Genesis 10 is the most comprehensive ethnographic document in the ancient world. Seventy nations: the number is not approximate; ancient Jewish tradition counts exactly seventy descendants listed: descended from Shem, Ham, and Japheth, spread across the known world by family, language, land, and nation. Every major people group of the ancient Near East, Mediterranean, and surrounding regions appears here. Moses is not writing mythology. He is writing the genealogical architecture of the world his readers inhabit.
The theological weight of this chapter accumulates slowly and pays dividends across the entire canon. Deuteronomy 32:8 will declare that God set the boundaries of the nations according to the number of the sons of Israel. The nations of Genesis 10 are within the scope of divine providential ordering. Psalm 2 addresses these same nations as the inheritance of the Son. Acts 17:26, 'he hath made of one blood all nations of men', reaches back to this table as the foundation of human unity and universal gospel eligibility. Revelation 5:9 shows the Lamb having redeemed people out of every tribe, tongue, people, and nation, the inventory of Genesis 10 fully populated in the throne room.
