What does Genesis 10:32 mean?

This verse serves as a formal conclusion to chapter 10's table of nations. It has finished its work of presenting the genealogy of Noah through his three sons and their sons and describing the peoples and nations that came from them, along with the regions in which they settled following the Tower of Babel. Rather than focusing on a single, deep line of fathers and sons, this list has emphasized the broad connection between all people. Instead of delving into the details of how they came to be separate people, with separate nations and languages, this passage simply explains how these men were related to each other.

The story of the Tower of Babel and the dispersal of humanity will be told in chapter 11, starting in the very next verse.
