Have the apparent groups of human beings (races) evolved differently?

1.	Have the apparent groups of human beings (races) evolved differently?
Answer» 1. No, there is no biological basis to the notion of human races. All humans are a singlespecies. 2. Regardless of where we have lived for the past few thousand years, we all came from Africa. 3. The earliest members of human species, Homosapiens, can be traced there. 4. Our genetic footprints can be traced back to our African roots. 5. A couple of hundred thousand years ago, some of our ancestors left Africa while others stayed on. 6. While the residents spread across Africa, the migrants slowly spread across the planet. 7. They did not go in a single line. They went forwards and backwards, with groups, sometimes separating from each other, even moving in and out of Africa. 8. Like all other species on planet, they had come into being as an accident of evolution,and were trying to live their lives the best they could.
