that picture is fake and very very wrong and unscientific, i am currently studying human biology and i can assure you that pic related is the only acceptable scientific map of "races"

most people's idea of race is completely wrong.
for example western europeans have a closer common ancestor to the chadic africans than uralic Finnish and subsaharan africans are genetically closer to nords than they are to Madagascar Africans.
and the fact that humans don't need to adapt to their environment as much as other animals because they can craft clothes, tools, shelters, etc prevented a lot of changes that could have made humans more physically different.
if you want to know more and to know what you are talking about and not btfo'd by any person with a degree i recommend you read Wikipedia articles or research papers if you are a "skeptic".
look up topic like genetic similarity, neanderthals interbreeding, genetic variation, haplogroups, phenotype, gene expression, FST, how genes change through different generations, natural selection, etc while having some basic geography and historical knowledge.
Spoiler: you will change your mind

Disagree; surely race developed via the migrationary and evolutionary nature of human genetic development which demonstrably shows that a monolithic genetic pool leads to susceptibility to environmental pressure changes negatively.

That is to say Alexandra The great and Genghis Khan had a dramatic and favourable impact on human genetics rather than a self-preservationist mindset which doesn't really have a rationale in light of the very examples you cite; they exist in niches, Human genetics are far more adaptable and conducive to genetic exchange to build stronger progeny.
