The Term “Uncovering the nakedness of your father” in Leviticus refers specifically to the prohibition of incest.
So if one interprets Scripture WITH Scripture, that would be the most probable explanation.
Even though the Torah had not yet been given in the time of Noah, there were still some things that were so reprehensible that people KNEW they were wrong, even without the Law.

You mean Ham had sex with his father? Or was it his son, Canaan ( who was cursed )?
Good to see you post that. Not the usual explanation, but sure makes sense along with:
Leviticus 18:6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 18:7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Leviticus 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
It would go a long way in explaining why *Canaan* was cursed. And, why Canaan's father was so noted, in the list of Noah's sons:
Genesis 9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
As if to clarify that Ham - not Noah - is the father of Canaan.
