How do you explain the origin of the various human races scientifically?

You got Europeans, Middle-easterns, Indian, Native Americans, South Americans, Far Eastern, Mongolians, Aboriginals and Africans, etc. These groups while human are so different. If we had been evolving for so long wouldn't there be a dominant race by now or at least much more uniformity? It just seems strange that there are so many different races of one species and they are so different in appearance. How do we explain this scientifically? (The same could said for dogs and other species but I wanted to hear the answer for humans.)

Why are there so many different kind of fish? Dogs? Cats?

See race as different breeds, like for dogs.
Instead of humans controlling how a dog looks, consider the environment and hooking up with what you find attractive being what determines what breed your kids will be.

One of these three examples is not a good example.

There are only 3 different "races": Mongoloid, Caucasoid, and Negroid.
And the answer to your question is: Evolution.

Yes. While you can argue the difference in large mouth bass phenotypes across the nation, I think you are implying here that all fish are the same species. All cats are the same species, and all dogs are the same species, but all fish are not the same species.

Don't know...however,
Jews have the highest intelligent quotient out of all races followed by Indian.
Caucasian makes the setpoint at 100
Not doing the rest lol (IQ is subjective)...saw this on the science channel a while back

you say this but in the past like 400 years or so, we have seen one race emerge (the latino/hispanic race)
it doesn't take THAT long

Yea, that. But it was so much easier to type fish, and rebeloke's tiny little brain wouldn't notice

Judaism is a religion. Not a race.
