Even when other areas of science had considerable achievements, genetic has yet to shown its true meaning. What they had found is that genetic differences from one race to another is very minute. The difference for a member of that race with a member of that same race however is very different.

Some articles on Genetic differences among races;
Genetic Differences in Races
Biology - Race and Religion

So, as geneticists puts it "Human races dont exist. Only sligh varation in genetic makeup". What are your views about age old concept of races and the new humanity as just one species point of view?

I dont think there are human races now, but in the past there were about four of them existing on the same place in the same time. We were the ones that got lucky and were the fittest of them, so we survived.
There are however some changes between people. As an example, the Aboriginals have a different blood type system than the rest of us. And of course native Indians and Africans dont grow beards.

Race is a socially constructed premise. These days there are far more distinguishing social constructs like social class. I think social class segregates the population more so than race. For example when you see an income challenged person no matter their race, you are more likely to stereotype their attributes with other income challenged people.

Race is probably just the most easily identifiable superficial trait, hence it becomes a quick common denominator when the brain tries to characterise individuals. Race itself is hard to define especially with all the mongrel [mixed] persons as a result of increasing ease of migration thanks to transport technology. What can you really characterise racially of mixed individuals? Not much...plenty of other such cases disqualify the evidence that race is biologically inherited.
