Evolution was not trying to creating a race of "DNA look alike clones", that would defy the entire point of continually improving on a good recipe that was already adapting in its environment.

Individuals who have similar complex genetic traits are what makes a great civilization. The fact that they also look alike is not coincidental.

You were pre-programmed to breed with people who looked like you and are close enough genetically to share all of the past evolutionary genetic improvements that have already been captured - while building on the new ones.

You are pre-wired to feel uncomfortable when surrounded by people who dont look like you.

The reason why all the great civilizations from the past failed was because they were so successful they mixed racially and destroyed their ancestral genetic patterns.

Mutts come in such a variety of colors and shapes - they have zero homogeneity and even less similarity in complex traits. The "blacker" ones separate from "lighter ones" in apartheid type societies of their own. Truth is though, its really the pot calling the kettle black.

Even more importantly though, every time mutt X mutt you get an even bigger scrambling of the genetic patterns that evolution was trying to perfect in your ancestral home.

Now you dont want to breed to close to family and you dont want to be too far away either.

At an aggregate level, if you take a representative sample of all Africans and all Europeans (as defined in the 1000 genomes database) and look for frequencies of genes that code for intelligence, you get the result in >>15004014
The quantum jump between the populations in complex traits is what defines a race.

What does this mean ? The differences between the races are real, even at aggregate levels. There is no cline of genetic change in complex traits.
