It's the first author I came across that considers the incestous relationship between Ham and Noah's wife to be implied in the scripture - other authors often stick to literal interpretations or fabricating scenarios such as Ham having sex with his father, etc.

https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/genesis/ "The nakedness of Noah was his wife."  This guy is as full of shit as the rabbis.  It's just naked, plain and simple.

All the religions get this story wrong.  Ham did nothing wrong.  Noah was just a prick.  He may have been blameless before the flood but afterward he showed himself to be a prick.  You can't really expect a perfect person to come out of a population of pure scum.  As proof that Noah was a prick, he cursed Canaan, Ham's son, instead of Ham himself.  This is in direct violation of the Torah which prohibits punishing children for their parents' crimes.

The point of this story is that humanity is not descended from a perfect person.  Both Adam and Noah screwed up.  Humanity is descended from people who screw up, and humanity continues to screw up.
