The 70 original nations from the individual children, grandchildren, and great-granchildren of Shem, Ham and Japeth, who spread out from Babylon after the Tower of Babel, are listed in Genesis chapter 10. "German" and "Teuton" are not listed there. Those are regional societies which developed much, much later. All that it is meant is that in general, it is extremely unlikely that a Gentile today can reliably trace his patrilinear identity back to one of the 70 individuals listed in Genesis chapter 10, who were born within a few hundred years after the Flood.
