Do you have a brain, Ronin?
Most races were started by a small tribe that migrated to an area. The population then spread from there. Breeding only occured locally. I mean, how many people way back when went 8,000 miles across the planet just to have sex? That made for isolated breeding lines. Genetic traits were circulated in these breeding communities, which makes for the traits we can now see today. We call them "races".

We don't call the traits races. We call traits "traits". The social construct of race encompasses a lot more
based on those traits. Traits that in the bigger picture are only a small part of the overall genetic code which make up humans.
The rest is pseudo-science I'm afraid. Very simplistic.
You're either assuming that humans managed to coincidentally split themselves up into genetic code and go their seperate ways.
Or you're assuming that apart from the environmental conditions which forced change in human skin colour and a few other traits around the world to a certain degree... changed more than simply the traits which we base race off of. It's simply not true.
Or perhaps you're assuming both.
Not only that you assume that these racial lines have stood the test of time.
BTW- Your Ghengis Khan example is a good point. Ancient Empires would have diluted a lot of these so called "bloodlines" you speak of. Not that I believe any of the sh*t you spout.
