There's lots we can't know. As I read it Ham is the father of Canaan and since the story is being told long afterward the names are used interchangeably.
Another thing we can't know is: How in the world did Noah get magical powers enough to be able to curse a whole people, descendants and all? Must have been some whopping good heavenly wine. Where can I get some?
