From Wikipedia: Race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.[1] The term came into common usage during the 16th century, when it was used to refer to groups of various kinds, including those characterized by close kinship relations.[2] By the 17th century, the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits, and then later to national affiliations. Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society.[3][4][5] While partly based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.[1][6][7] The concept of race is foundational to racism, the belief that humans can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.
And from Sapiens.org
Homo sapiens is currently the only member of the genus Homo alive.
Conclusion: All living humans are just one species (not broken down into race). There can be physical similarities within groups, however, all physical characteristics are inherited by genes, not as a “package” of features belonging to a group of people.
